Description

The documentation for wp_attachment_is() states that the function accepts only 'image', 'audio', or 'video' for the $type parameter, but the default case in the switch block is a comparison of the type passed to the file extension. The function actually accepts those three values or any file extension.

  • Keywords has-patch added; needs-patch removed

This pull request updates the wp_attachment_is() function documentation to reflect the fact that the function can now be used to check if an attachment is of any type, not just image, audio, or video.

This change is necessary because the wp_attachment_is() function has been updated in recent versions of WordPress to support more types of attachments, such as PDFs, documents, and archives. However, the function documentation has not been updated to reflect this change.

This pull request updates the function documentation to reflect the current capabilities of the function and to make it more accurate and informative for users.

Replying to joedolson:

The documentation for wp_attachment_is() states that the function accepts only 'image', 'audio', or 'video' for the $type parameter, but the default case in the switch block is a comparison of the type passed to the file extension. The function actually accepts those three values or any file extension.

@joedolson i checked your pull request and in my opinion the correction is valid.

I'm assuming that what you're saying is that @nirav7707's PR solves the problem, and that closing the ticket was an error. If the PR is a valid solution, then the next steps would be to review or commit. Thanks for contributing!
