PR for Trac ticket: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/64201

This PR removes the “Comments” column from the Media Library when attachment pages are disabled.

When the wp_attachment_pages_enabled option is empty or evaluates to false, attachments no longer have dedicated front-end pages. In such cases, displaying the “Comments” column in the Media Library becomes redundant, since comments are not accessible or visible on attachment pages.

Benefits:

  • Prevents confusion for users by hiding irrelevant UI

  • Keeps the Media Library interface cleaner

  • Aligns with the expected behaviour when attachment pages are disabled

WordPress Playground is an experimental project that creates a full WordPress instance entirely within the browser.

Some things to be aware of

  • The Plugin and Theme Directories cannot be accessed within Playground.
  • All changes will be lost when closing a tab with a Playground instance.
  • All changes will be lost when refreshing the page.
  • A fresh instance is created each time the link below is clicked.
  • Every time this pull request is updated, a new ZIP file containing all changes is created. If changes are not reflected in the Playground instance,
    it's possible that the most recent build failed, or has not completed. Check the list of workflow runs to be sure.

For more details about these limitations and more, check out the Limitations page in the WordPress Playground documentation.
