Change URLs to external

So, I’ve followed this tutorial successfully: https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-link-to-external-links-from-the-post-title-in-wordpress/ but I’d like to do the same for all results from Ajax Search Lite plugin.

How can I do that?

Hi!

I’m assuming, you are using a custom field to store the custom URLs?

In that case, it is possible to change that after the post-processing, with a custom code (placing it to the functions.php file):

add_filter( 'asl_pagepost_results', 'asl_change_link_to_meta', 1, 1 );
function asl_change_link_to_meta( $results ) {
  $custom_field = 'custom_url_field'; // Change this to the custom field name
  // -----------------------------------------------
  foreach ($results as $k=>$v) {
    $meta = get_post_meta($v->id, $custom_field, true);
    if ( !empty($meta) ) {
      $results[$k]->link = $meta;
    }  
  }   
  return $results;
}

Just make sure to change the $custom_field variable to the custom field that holds the url.
