If you want that edit media should get open in the same tab, use the following piece of code in your theme’s functions.php file:
// Check if function doest not exists.
if ( ! function_exists( 'rtmedia_wp_footer_add_js_callback' ) ) {
function rtmedia_wp_footer_add_js_callback() {
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
// Event will fire when someone click on edit button of media.
jQuery( 'body' ).on( 'click', '.rtmedia-gallery-item-actions a',function(){
var target = jQuery( this ).attr( 'target' );
// Checked for the target attribute if it exists or not and is also set to blank.
if ( target != 'undefined' && target == '_blank' ) {
// Replace the blank target attribute to self target attribute.
jQuery( this ).attr( 'target', '_self' );
}
});
});
</script>
<?php
}
}
add_action( 'wp_footer', 'rtmedia_wp_footer_add_js_callback', 10, 1 );
