== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Tell me more about the settings parameter "Is active" =
It will redirect the URLs and make a flush to the rewrite rules in WordPress when activate and deactivate.

= Tell me more about the settings parameter "Base URL replacement" =
It will replace the standard URL in case you have a host environment that allowes differential access, eg, http://amek.se is the same as http://www.amek.se
Insert the whole URL with http://

= Tell me more about the settings parameter "Short URL tag" =
It's the tag that is included in the WordPress rewrite rules and makes a call to the MediaShort redirect.

= Tell me more about the settings parameter "Transfer mode" =
Redirect means the URL will transform to the File URL given in the Media Library.
Rewrite will not touch the MediaShort URL and persist the address for the visitors using the URL.

= Tell me more about the settings parameter "Show link type..." =
The alternatives will show in the Media Library Dialog and all of them will work as a substitute to the File URL.
