Rewrite rules take a pretty permalink URL and convert it into a plain URL with a query string. Parameters from the query string are used to choose … Read more
There’s a couple things you could do. If we follow the Template Hierarchy you could rename your content-attachment.php file to attachment.php and remove image.php.
