   Why don’t you update this article ?

   Yoast doesn’t have this feature in free version anymore.

     My Yoast SEO does have this option under MEDIA. It is the first option, and it says Yoast suggests YES to “Redirect attachment URLs to the attachment itself?”
     March 2021 is when I checked.

   i post images and link them to media file on my site
   should i disable the attachment media pages?
   if i do, will it affect seo?

   返信

     That would depend on your personal preference and if the main content of your site is images rather than posts and pages.

   Thank you! For some reason I have never experienced this issue using yoast until today! One of my sites kept redirecting to the image instead of my attachment page. Wasted an hour trying to figure out if it was a function issue I had created. Turns out it was the Yoast plugin. Easy fix thank yoU!

   Hi
   Yoast has now changed all the settings, they keep doing this and honestly they’re driving people mad.
   This “Redirect attachment URL to parent post” was very handy and understandable, but now it doesn’t exist.
   Instead, we have a Media tab where the instructions seem, at least for me, a bit unclear. This is the explanation they give:

   When you upload media to WordPress, it doesn’t just save the media, it creates an attachment URL for it. These attachment pages are quite empty: they contain the media item and maybe a title if you entered one. Because of that, if you never use these attachment URLs, it’s better to disable them, and redirect them to the media item itself.

   What this seems to provoke is that now Google is showing image attachment URLs in the SERPs results. But there is no option, as before, to redirect the attachment URL to the parent post. What do we do then?

   Am I not understanding correctly the use of the new Media tab? What should I do so that Google doesn’t show those attachments as results in the SERPs that are not image search? Am I not understanding correctly the use of the new Media tab? What should I do so that Google doesn’t show those attachments as results in the SERPs that are not image search? What is it that I’m getting wrong?

   H E L P!!

     Hi Esther,
     The current function in Yoast removes the attachment urls by redirecting them to the direct url of the media file (instead of to the parent post). If you are turning it on just now, it’s normal to still have attachment page urls in the index. Selecting the option would lead to the attachment urls eventually disappearing from search engines’ indexes and being replaced by the media files’ direct urls (blabla.jpg for example).
     If you want to speed up the removal of the attachment urls, you can do so in Google Search Console.

   This post needs an update because Yoast has made a lot of changes to its features on new update.

   返信

   • Amanda Formaro

     I agree. Not only did Yoast update, but they also removed the very option you are recommending in this post (unfortunately). And now all that’s left is to redirect to the actual attachment.

   The link is out of date now as the permalinks can be found under Advanced on the latest version.

   Thanks anyway as I have just updated it.

7. Jeff

   So if we aren’t linking to these attachment pages, is there really any reason to redirect these so google doesn’t index them? The reason I ask is for videos directly uploaded, we have the transcript in the description field so google indexes that.

   If we redirect would it still index that transcript or should I leave as is?

   i was using all in one seo plugin and i found “Redirect Attachments to Post Parent:” in my seo General settings, and i mark it.

   So, is that same and worked?

    Question: How can I keep WP from creating an attachment in the database?
    What I mean is that I have roughly 40k actual posts, and over 100k rows in the wp_posts table. After running a query, it seems that there is ~100k posts with post_type “attachment.” Are all of these rows necessary?

    But how do you actually disable attachment pages? This post doesn’t disable them but puts a redirect in place. We have issues where the redirects is conflicting with actual page names. We dont want any attachment pages and therefore no need for redirects.

    返信

17. paul

    I would like to keep the attachment pages but within the attachment pages that display the image in a bigger size to disable links to prev next and full size image as this is where they can copy images or see images that I dont want non registered users to see etc. How can we do that?

    返信

18. Whitney

    Oh wait, I just realized something… if I no index the media files, does that mean all my media is not indexed or just the attachment pages?

    返信

19. Whitney

    Is the duplicate content issue only solved if I “no index” the pages or will the 301 redirect to parent take care of that too? I’m assuming I’d need to no index them…. but just want to make sure I’m assuming right

    Hello i also disabled attachments pages in sitemap. will this technique prevents google to index images?

      If the images appear in posts as well, then no it will not stop Google from indexing images.

    Great solution!
    May I add that after the modification on Yoast I had to go to Settings->Permalinks and save settings (no need to change anything).
    Your mileage may vary, this worked for me, thanks!

    It seems Yoast has changed things and this no longer works. Or something is stuck in cache.

      I’m having the same issue and I don’t think it’s the cache. I installed the plugin mentioned and that works fine.

      I had to go to Settings > Permalinks and click Save Changes (without making any changes) in order for it to work after the Yoast setting change.

    A nice informative article but oh my what a misleading title!
    The post title and the last sentence (after the comma) of the first paragraph are totally off!!!

    This is NOT disabling attachment pages/nor stopping WP from creating them (as the title implies) but redirecting links to it to somewhere else, and that is something real different!

    Disabling is stopping some from to be happen, and whatever code is shown in this article (even used by named plugins) it is not stopping WP from creating these attachment pages. This article is about how to redirect , which is okay ofcourse but not as implied by the post title and article as it. Such a shame because that would be a scoop!

    返信

    • Jesse

      Henry has pointed out an important distinction.

      I am building a site that requires members to upload sensitive/private information via registration form. We absolutely can not have these files accessible to the public and need minimize any chance that these files will be indexed and publicly visible. Preventing the creation of attachment pages would seem the way to go, but I supposed redirects would work as well. We wouldn’t want to outright disable all attachment pages as we do want some uploaded files to be indexed, however, as WP Beginner Support pointed out, these files can still be indexed if they are contained within other posts.

      Think I will try enabling the attachment page redirects via Yoast SEO plugin as well as change the default directory where registration form uploads are stored (ie. will no longer be in default ‘/uploads’ directory) and disable indexing of that directory via robots.txt.

      Thoughts?

    Hi, thanks for the info!

    What about older images which were previously indexed by Google?

    I have had the setting on in Yoast for “redirect attachments” for at least 6 months now, but my older images are still being found.

    What would anyone recommend to do with these images? It concerns me because I get some critical errors on the ahrefs tool:

    duplicate title tags
    duplicate meta descriptions

    Shall I just go and add all the tags?

30. Raleigh Leslie

    Thanks this post helped me explain to someone why you would want to redirect media attachment pages to the actual post of page containing to media. re: “Sometimes an image on your website can become popular and people might start landing on the attachment page directly from Google. Ideally you would want them to land on your post and see the image in the context you have used it.”

    Thanks for the code. I made a slight adjustment so pages for media uploaded to the library directly, not a post, will redirect the visitor to the homepage. Feel free to use this: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/e4f48a41192b4d64fdf3

    I tryed the code you suggest, it works with the images associated with posts os pages, but.. all the other images uploaded that are no assigned to any post, for that images your code does not work.

    返信

    • Ogier Schelvis

      I also had this issue. The Yoast! setting seemed to be ignored. Whether or not it was cache, I like the fact about the image.php solution that you have more freedom to determine what is going to happen. I just wanted to show a 404 for example if the post parent was not set. I solved it like this:

      if($post->post_parent != 0):
      wp_redirect(get_permalink($post->post_parent));
      else:
      $wp_query->set_404();
      status_header(404);
      nocache_headers();
      include( get_query_template( ‘404’ ) );
      endif;

    Hello a user called Sam posted this issue – You write “Simply check the noindex, nofollow tag for ONLY the attachment post type.” but I do not see such an option. Are you referring to the “media” section? If I click no index under media will that no index my images or attachments? I would like to no index my attachments but I don’t want to lose traffic from Google images.

    I would also like to know the answer as I have the same issue
    thanks

      Philip, no this should not affect your Google Image Search traffic as the option redirects users landing on attachment page to the parent post URL where your image is available for search engines to index.

    Thanks for the heads up, I got a bit of a shock when I saw absolutely everything had been indexed, including elements of the template such as image backgrounds and so on. I’m using Yoast so it is an easy fix – I wonder though if it is worth still having pdf attachment pages indexed – I’ll look into it.

    Heads up about the plugin… if you use the gallery option to present images in a post, the plugin blocks the function and clicking on an image brings the user back the thumbs index of the images.

      You can add just this:

      <?php if( is_attachment()){
