Hi all, Google has started to index my website and I’ve noticed that its creating urls for some images such as

How can avoid that?

Thanks in advance,

Mauri

Hello Maurafarah,

Here is talking about a default Attachment page of WordPress -> https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/advanced-attachment-page/ That’s not come from our theme.

Thanks for the message!

Hi Catalin, thanks for the prompt answer, in the post, editing the image, the link its set to none (not to attachment page) Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

Hello,

No, that’s the normal WordPress behavior.

Thanks.

When you upload an image or a video to WordPress, WordPress automatically creates an attachment URL for it, next to allowing you to link to the media item directly. This is much the same as a post URL, but it has no real SEO value. Most sites therefore never use these attachment URLs, but because WordPress sometimes links to them, they do start being indexed by search engines.

Install Yoast SEO plugin:

Yoast SEO long had a feature that allowed you to redirect attachment URLs for images to the post they were embedded in.
