Link to File URL by default

2 Views

Every time I insert an image into my post, the default link is to the image attachment page. How can I change it so it always links to the File address?

  1. Answered a similar question on the .org forums very recently.

    To sum it up though..

    1. Go to http://example.com/wp-admin/options.php (replace example.com with your website address)
    2. Scroll down the page until you see image_default_link_type
    3. Set that option to either file, post or to an empty value.

    Empty = No link
    File = Links to the file(what you asked for)
    Post = Links to the attachment page(default)

    Hope that helps.. 🙂
