FAQ
How to link media to the file itself rather than the attachment page in media search results page?
Please add the following code to the functions.php in your theme:
function my_get_attachment_url( $url, $post_id ) {
$url = wp_get_attachment_url( $post_id );
return $url;
}
add_filter( 'msp_get_attachment_url', 'my_get_attachment_url', 10, 2 );
