Needed the media page slugs for content pages but the pictures, being named after the pages, blocked all the required slugs. This plugin did the trick just fine! 2800 slugs renamed without errors and the desired urls are usable again rightaway. Great stuff!

I create a lot of small business service + location pages. I was using two other plugins, one to duplicate a page, and lpagery to create the pages themselves. This is a lot of images and a lot of data. I was not able to have my base service urls as I wanted them. WordPress kept putting a number at the end (/service-3/). Nothing I tried would let me remove that number unless I changed my slug altogether (which for internal linking was a lot of work) I scoured the internet, tried changing and reseting my permalink structure, clearing my cache, etc and nothing worked. I came across this plugin and in 30 seconds it fixed my problem. HIGHLY reccomend if you’re have a lot of similar pages and images. This is a life saver!

Well, this is exactly what I needed. I needed to release all of the URLs that were created for the attachment pages, and remove the links to the attachment pages. All I can say is wow!! Great job. I wish this was a feature built into WordPress. This plugin made me a “happy camper” today!!

Great that this plugin allows avoiding thin content and keeps the value-able slug namespace clean!
On my portfolio website I have a lot of images and projects. And the featured image per project often/mostly is named just as the base project URL. So I would have had namespace clashes all over. And inconsistent ones! If I first upload an image then the project page gets the ugly -2 sufix, if I first create the project page and later upload the pic, then the picture media page gets the ugly -2 suffix.

This plug-in does what it needs to do and it does it perfectly. It prevents conflicts between attachment pages and other permalinks while allowing media to be opened directly. Yes, this feature is built into SEO optimization plugins. However, not all sites need or want the added bloat of SEO optimization plugins to perform this task. Thank you @joppuyo for creating this plugin.

EVERY single article I’ve looked at after searching for a way to solve this issue has said to install an SEO plugin and just redirect the permalink to the original file. That doesn’t solve the underlying problem.
I have a logo file called square.png, that is tucked away nicely in the wp-content folder as it should be. But WordPress (in its infinite wisdom) decides that people want to see a page of information about the file when they visit example.com/square.
What if I want to put a page at that url? Even if I use an SEO plugin to redirect it, that url is still taken and the page I create is put at example.com/square-2.
Wordpress doesn’t allow you to edit the permalink of an attachment or put them in their own namespace like example.com/attachment/square.
This plugin solves ALL of that trouble, all of the permalinks now refer to the url of the actual file, with the url of the attachment page renamed to a long random alphanumeric string so it won’t conflict with anything.

Media attachments URL are a real problem in WordPress.
Some developers of plugins have decided to redirect ALL media attachments to the homepage. They are wrong. One of my websites has been already penalized for such a behavior.
Some developers of plugins decide to redirect media attachments to the parent page. They are wrong too. If you upload a picture to WordPress, and then if you go to the media library and click on view attachment page, you will be able to see the attachment page because it has no parent. It is normal since you didn’t added the picture to a post or a page. When the picture isn’t listed on a post or page, it still has an attachment page.
So, some of you may say: “but I think that google will never find it”. You are wrong! In fact, because of autocomplete function of wordpress and other auto guessing features of plugins, Google may follow a Url and end up on the attachment page.
This plugin destroys media attachment by returning a 404. That’s the best. Using this technique, it ensures that you will never get penalized because of the media attachment.
The 404 is the best approach. I looked into the redirections when googlebot visited a Attachment URL using Yoast. GOoglebot expects a HTML page at the end of the redirection. However, Yoast redirects to an image. Let me explain. I saw that after hitting the attachment page and being redirected to the URK (for instance: /jojo.jpg). Google sends a HTTP request: “accept: text/html” in other words, google thinks that jojo.jpg is a HTML file. It is normal because the source is a HTML page (the attachment page). Googlebot does not like this redirection between it transits from a HTML page to a media file (for instance an image). Then, Googlebot is lost and will come back several time, looking for a text/html rather than a image/jpeg
PLus, this plugin is super easy to use. You install it, activate it and it works out of the box.

The WordPress moderators didn’t like my link to a meme, so just search for “Ronseal UK advert” for the reference.
Great plugin!
