How can I change the format of attachment page urls from /[post-url]/[attachment-name]/ to /media/[attachment-name]/? I understand that I can override the output of get_attachment_link via the attachment_link filter, but I guess I need to change the redirect structure so WordPress knows how to handle these urls?
You can do the following:
/* add new rewrite rule */
function attachment_rewrite( $wp_rewrite ) {
$rule = array(
'media/(.+)' => 'index.php?attachment=' . $wp_rewrite->preg_index(1)
);
$wp_rewrite->rules = $rule + $wp_rewrite->rules;
}
add_filter( 'generate_rewrite_rules', 'attachment_rewrite' );
/* redirect standard wordpress attachments urls to new format */
function redirect_old_attachment() {
global $wp;
if( !preg_match( '/^media\/(.*)/', $wp->request ) && isset( $wp->query_vars['attachment'] ) ) {
wp_redirect( site_url( '/media/' . $wp->query_vars['attachment'] ) , 301 );
}
}
add_filter( 'template_redirect', 'redirect_old_attachment' );

where do we add the above code, do we add it in functions.php or rewrite.php or links-template.php – Terrell Anderson Feb 27 '12 at 5:16

Where can I find / update the
'index.php?attachment='handler? I want to use my own handler to resolve files, filter only for a specific user(s) & etc – Zilvinas Dec 16 '16 at 22:35
