​What is this, and where do I put this custom code?​
Replacing with a static URL
1
// Remove the line below, if you don't want to affect the Live results list
2
add_filter( 'asp_results', 'asp_custom_link_results', 10, 4 );
3
// Remove the line below, if you don't want to affect the results page
4
add_filter( 'asp_noajax_results', 'asp_custom_link_results', 10, 4 );
5
function asp_custom_link_results( $results, $search_id, $is_ajax, $args ) {
6
    // Replaces each result URL with this
7
    $replace_with = 'https://google.com';
8
​
9
    // --- DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING BELOW ---
10
    foreach ($results as $k=>&$r) {
11
		// Ajax results link
12
		if ( isset($r->link) ) {
13
            $r->link = $replace_with;
14
        }
15
		// Results page link
16
		if ( isset($r->asp_guid) ) {

Replacing multiple different URLs within the results
Enter the values to the $replace variable on line 7. On each line, the left side is the value to replace, with the value on the right side.
1
// Remove the line below, if you don't want to affect the Live results list
2
add_filter( 'asp_results', 'asp_custom_link_results', 10, 4 );
3
// Remove the line below, if you don't want to affect the results page
4
add_filter( 'asp_noajax_results', 'asp_custom_link_results', 10, 4 );
5
function asp_custom_link_results( $results, $search_id, $is_ajax, $args  ) {
6
	// Array of original -> replacement links
7
	$replace = array(
8
		'websiteurl1.com' => 'google.com',

		'websiteurl2.com' => 'wikipedia.com',
10
		'websiteurl3.com' => 'bing.com'

Parsing the url from post meta
​What is this, and where do I put this custom code?​
1
// Remove the line below, if you don't want to affect the Live results list
2
add_filter( 'asp_results', 'asp_custom_link_meta_results', 10, 4 );
3
// Remove the line below, if you don't want to affect the results page
4
add_filter( 'asp_noajax_results', 'asp_custom_link_meta_results', 10, 4 );
5
function asp_custom_link_meta_results( $results, $search_id, $is_ajax, $args ) {
6
    // Change this variable to whatever meta key you are using
7
    $meta_key = 'custom_url';

    // --- DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING BELOW ---

    foreach ($results as $k=>&$r) {
11
        if ( function_exists('get_field') )
12
            $new_url = get_field( $meta_key, $r->id, true ); // ACF support
