   I've been going over all of the documentation and I can't figure out why this isn't working:

   echo wp_get_attachment_url($post_id);

   This works:

   echo get_attachment_link($post_id, 'medium');

   Is wp_get_attachment_url deprecated? I don't want the attachment's page. There's no mention of a replacement function to return the full URL to the attached image.

   Where are you getting $post_id from?

   I tried that too - comes up blank.

   I'm trying to modify the output of the Favorites Post plugin. Here is their code with my additions (just testing it now):

   if ($favorite_post_ids):
           foreach ($favorite_post_ids as $post_id) {
               $p = get_post($post_id);
               echo "<li>";
               echo "<a href='".get_permalink($post_id)."' title='". $p->post_title ."'>" . $p->post_title ."</a> ";
   
   echo wp_get_attachment_url($post_id);
   echo get_attachment_link($post_id, 'medium');

   The output of this is correct except the wp_get_attachment_url is blank.

   ie:

   I get the title of the post (from the original plugin) then http://domain-name.com/?attachment_id=84

   I even tried using explicitly using 84 instead of $post_id and that did the same thing.

   This also doesn't work for me:

   echo get_attached_file($post_id);

   nor does

   echo get_attached_file(84);
