- Combine images to gallery.
- Select an attachment image size for the images gallery.

You can also:
- Add, replace or delete an attachment from a comment on the Edit Comment screen.
- Attach an unlimited number of attachments to the comment in the admin panel.
- Delete an attachment from a specific comment or bulk delete attachments from comments on the Comments screen.
- Display attachments attached to comments to the current post (or a specific post) with the
[dco_ca] shortcode. You can also filter by type. See FAQ for details.
Attachments are uploaded to the WordPress Media Library and deleted along with the comment (if this is set in the settings).

How to use the [dco_ca] shortcode?
Without attributes specified, the [dco_ca] shortcode will display all attachments attached to current post.
You can filter attachments using the type attribute. By default it is all. Also supported: image, video, audio and misc.
You can specify one value [dco_ca type="image"] or multiple values, separated by commas [dco_ca type="video,audio"].
You can also display attachments from the comments of another post using the post_id attribute.
For example, [dco_ca post_id="45"], where 45 is the ID of the specific post.
You can also combine these attributes. For example, [dco_ca post_id="45" type="image"] will display all images attached to comments to the post with ID 45.
