  hey,

  I’ve added some code to my functions.php file to create a shortcode that outputs my home url….

  //Shortcode to return home url
  function homeurl_func( $atts ){
  	return get_home_url();
  }
  add_shortcode( 'homeurl', 'homeurl_func' );

  When adding media to page content, I wish to add another function to the functions.php to update the image url and link url so that the [shortcode] text replaces the home url part of the string. See below….

  Instead of………

  
  <img class=”wp-image-173″ src=”http://test.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/image.jpg” alt=”the-dean” data-id=”173″ />

  I would like…..

  
  <img class=”wp-image-173″ src=”[homeurl]/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/image.jpg” alt=”the-dean” data-id=”173″ />

  This would make it a lot easier when moving sites when going live, as I wouldn’t have to manually add the short code when adding media. Is this possible, and would anyone know where I would start to achieve this? I’m sure this must have been asked before but I can’t find any answer on it.

  Many Thanks
  A

  I didn’t mean to add links to the post, I forgot to add backticks around the code for

  <a href="http://test.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/the-dean.jpg"><img class="wp-image-173" src="http://test.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/image.jpg" alt="the-dean" data-id="173" /></a>

  and…

  <a href="[homeurl]/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/the-dean.jpg"><img class="wp-image-173" src="[homeurl]/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/image.jpg" alt="the-dean" data-id="173" /></a>

  So as you can see I wish to add the shorcode to the href too.
