# is_single problem!

 * Hi,
    I’m having problems with is_single()
 * The problem is that is_single() is supposed to work only on posts, NO “pages”
   and “attachments”, if I understand it right. Because if not there will be no 
   difference between is_single and is_singular
 * >  is_single() returns true if any single post is being displayed
   >  is_singular()
   > returns true when any page, attachment, or single post is being displayed.
 * But If I try to include a file only into a POST
 *     ```
       <?php if ( is_single() ) { ?>
       	<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
       <?php } ?>
       ```
   
 * the css file appears also on attachment pages
    **example.com/?attachment=123456789**
   AND THAT AINT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN.
 * Is there a bug in wordpress or I’m doing something wrong?!!
 * Thank you!

 * Are your attachments pointing to POST pages when you insert them?

 * when I insert images I use
    **[gallery columns="1" size="large"]** then in the**
   post**, images (somename-500×550.jpg) point to the original image (somename.jpg)
   not to the attachment page.

 * it’s not online yet. **But problem was solved**
    – 2 ways to exclude attachments
   from POSTS and get a file only and exclusively on POSTS. – 1:
 *     ```
       <?php if ( is_single() && !is_attachment() ) { ?>
           <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
       <?php } ?>
       ```
   
 * – 2 way:
 *     ```
       <?php if ( is_singular('post') ) { ?>
           <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
       <?php } ?>
       ```
   
 * I suggest the second way.
