Non existing pagination and attachment urls being indexed

Hi,

I have made my website with the tagdiv composer and nowhere on the website do I use pagination. I only use the load more button on homepage, category pages, author pages etc.

However, I noticed in Google Search Console that it is indexing and crawling weird pages like: homepage.com/page/17?attachment_id=ycbvfdmu?attachment_id%3Dycbvfdmu.

First of all, page 17 doesn’t really exist.My website shouldn’t have any existing pagination. The page shows like this: this

When I remove the attachtment stuff and only check the pagination url it just shows my homepage, but doesnt redirect to home. It still shows the pagination in the URL. Also there is some weird attachtment id stuff going on in the URL. How do I disable these paginated pages and prevent them from showing in Search Console and Google search results?

Hi,

Please provide your website URL and some exact links with your problem so I can identify them and investigate it. Also, you can provide more details about this and some useful screenshots because your example screen does not help me.

Thank you!

Hi,

Please notice that the attachment pages come by default with the WordPress file. If you want to remove them or redirect you need to follow the next topic from here -> https://yoast.com/media-attachment-urls/ where this situation is deeply discussed. Also, if you want to provide your URL in private mode, you can send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com but notice that all of the guides above this task can be found above, in that topic from Seo Yoast. Regarding thumbs, you need to enable them from the Theme panel if you what to display the featured images on the page.

Thank you!
