When searching my site in google, now and again, an Attachment page will show in the search results. The attachment page has the entire contents of several blog posts lumped into a few pages.
Here’s an example:
https://boraboraphotos.com/?attachment_id=ztnjdstdagdrjit
Why are these attachment pages showing, and how do I disable them from being created? I fear this could be severely affecting my SEO efforts.
Note. I have Yoast SEO installed, and under Search Appearance > Media > Media & Attachment URLs, the setting is set to YES, redirect attachment URLs to the attachment itself.
thanks
Hi,
This https://boraboraphotos.com/?attachment_id=ztnjdstdagdrjit is a blog page and is apers like this because of this parameter -> ?attachment_id. Normally it can be set from here -> https://i.imgur.com/zn10sUE.png also if you are using the Yoast seo, then you can use this guide to remove/redirect the attachment url -> https://www.shoutmeloud.com/how-to-deindex-wordpress-tags-categories-attachment-google.html
