How to redirect attachment pages to the image?

    I just migrated from Yoast.

    With Yoast, when I linked from images, linking to the “Media file” would open the image in the lightbox. And linking to the “Attachment page” would open the jpg file in a stand-alone window.

    But with Rank Math, when linking to the “Attachment page”, the only options are to redirect the “Attachment page” to the post, or to open it in the attachment page from WordPress (where the image is tiny).

    How to make the “Attachment page” open the .jpg file in a stand-alone window?

    Hello @john5171

    Thank you for contacting the support and sorry for the delayed response.

    To Redirect Attachment pages to the Media file, please enable the Redirection Attachment option in Rank Math >> General Settings and add following code in theme’s functions.php file:

    add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/attachment/redirect_url', function( $redirect ) {
	global $post;
	return $post->guid;
});

    Hope that helps.

    Thanks! I just migrated from Yoast too and this is the only feature that I really miss in. Rank Math. It would be very nice if this was a checkbox/toggle option under the Redirections tab.

    Hello @dusemedia

    Sure. We will see if we can add it as an option.

    That depends entirely on demand.

    For now, you can use the filter provided above.

    Hope that helps. Than you.

    This is a feature I’m also missing after switching from Yoast, but thanks a lot for the code (which works) and I’m hoping to see this as a standard feature in future releases.

    Thanks for all your hard work. This plugin is seriously a game changer!

    Hello @whereverpanda

    Glad you liked the plugin and appreciate your kind words.

    We will see what we can do with that.

    If it isn’t too much to ask for – would you mind leaving us a review here?

    It only takes a couple of minutes but helps us tremendously.

    It would mean so much to us and would go a really long way.

    Thank you.??
