 * I was able to fix it in attachment.php by inserting these lines:
 *     ```
       $orig_url = $url;
       $url = preg_replace("/https?:\/\//", '', $url);
       $home = preg_replace("/https?:\/\//", '', $home);
       ```
   
 * just before this line:
 *     ```
       $filename = ABSPATH . substr($url, strlen($home) + 1);
       ```
   
 * and by changing this line:
 *     ```
       'url' => $url,
       ```
   
 * to:
 *     ```
       'url' => $orig_url,
       ```

 * i’m sure there’s a more elegant way to fix it, but here’s my messy attempt.
 * thanks!
