wp_get_attachment_link
-
I’m using wp_get_attachment_link to link an image on my front page to the post. But it sends me to a post with the name of the attachment as the name of the post. So, the url ends up something like:
‘http://mysite.com/category/title/attachment/image-name’
Is there a way to do this so that it goes to the post instead of to the attachment?
Here’s the code I’m using on my home page:
‘$args = array(
‘post_type’ => ‘attachment’,
‘numberposts’ => 5,
‘post_status’ => null,
‘post_parent’ => null, // any parent
‘order’ => ‘DESC’,
);
$attachments = get_posts($args);
if ($attachments) {
foreach ($attachments as $post) {
setup_postdata($post);
echo wp_get_attachment_link($post->ID, ‘medium’, true);’

I figured it out!
In WordPress folder “wp-includes”, find the file “link-template.php”
On line 183, you will see the code:
‘$name = ‘attachment/’ . $object->post_name; // <permalink>/<int>/ is paged so we use the explicit attachment marker’change it to:
‘$name = ‘.’; // <permalink>/<int>/ is paged so we use the explicit attachment marker’That worked for me. Yeah! 🙂
Can anyone help me edit the above code (in first post) so that ‘wp_get_attachment_link’ only pulls one attachment per post??
Or, even better, pull attachments randomly??…
‘numberposts’ => 1, i beleive.
When I use the code above, it just pulls EVERYTHING from the media gallery..even when those images are not part of a post.
