By default, attachments do not have a version query parameter, like, for example JavaScript files have. This plugins adds version numbers to the query strings of attachments.
Version numbers in query strings are useful for caching. If an attachment changes, its version number and, therefore, its URL changes. This allows for the attachment to be cached for an extended period of time or indefintely, for example, with the directive “immutable” of the Cache-Control header.

Attachment URL Version

Adds the version number of attachments to their URL.

There are three possible scenarios where this plugin does something. In all cases, the attachment page must exists, the plugin will not run for deleted attachments:
A) A visitor lands on an attachment page and the parent post is available (not in trash or deleted). A 301 redirect will be issued to redirect the visitor to the parent post.
B) A visitor lands on an attachment page and the parent post was already deleted from trash. A 302 redirect is issued to home page (this can be changed to 301 if you want, see FAQ for more details).
C) A visitor lands on an attachment page and the parent post is in trash, therefore not available for the visitor. It returns a 404 error code to prevent endless redirection loop in old WP releases and redirecting to trashed/not available posts.
There is no options page, simply activate it and will do the job.
