“+attachment_url+” doesn’t work in shortcode

    I’m using the following short code to display all of my audio file attachments, according to their category, with the title in the caption that links to the attachment page:

    [mla_gallery post_mime_type="audio" attachment_category="New Music" mla_caption='<a href="?p={+attachment_ID+}">{+title+}</a>']

    This works, however it’s not SEO friendly to use the attachment ID instead of the permalink. Is there any way to do it with the permalink slug?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Thanks for your question and for including the source text of your shortcode; very helpful.

    I believe you can use the pagelink_url parameter to get the results you seek. Try coding something like:

    [mla_gallery post_mime_type="audio" attachment_category="New Music" mla_caption='<a href="{+pagelink_url+}">{+title+}</a>']

    You can find more information in the “Attachment-specific substitution parameters for the markup template Item part” section of the Settings/Media Library Assistant Documentation tab.

    I am marking this topic resolved, but please update it if you have problems or further questions regarding the above suggestion. Thanks for your interest in the plugin.
