Attachments without images

Question

I am using the Attachments plugin, but this question I'm sure is applicable to the regular media library. What I want to do is have an 'attachment' (metadata, title, caption) but with no image associated with it. Reason being, I want to treat attachments as 'project items' which can either be an image or a block of text. Is this possible?

Answer 1

Then you should use custom fields, attachments are for something to attach from your media library. Custom fields on the other hand can be anything you want.
