silly crap redirecting all media to 404 pages, even for existing content.

The plugin creates a new XML-Sitemap which contains all attachment URLs. This is the opposite from what you are describing

“Wait 6 months and it will work.”
Bullshit. It’s been 16+ and didn’t work.
Yoast makes a mistake, creates plugin to fix and it doesn’t, and you’re left with hours of work to fix URLs that shouldnt exist

Which is the exact opposite of what it’s supposed to do. It does NOT create a 401 for the attachment page, the page loads as usual. But it actually DID send Google fresh indexes for all attachment pages in its XML – so they’ve been re-indexed all over again. Guys please fix this! This plugin actually made the issue WORSE.

YOAST, this is a nightmare. First you made a big mistake releasing plugin update with this media URL mess, that many people suffer from, and that many still are not aware the issue exist as we did not clearly got a notification for the mistake you made.
You created a plugin to help remove media URL from Google fast, but it does not work at all!
I tried even if I was reluctant due to what I was reading, new sitemap was generated with attachment urls, but NONE would return a 410, instead, attachment urls were being indexed and 492 NEW ERRORS in my GOOGLE SEARCH CONSOLE.
Come on guys you made a mistake, it happens, the least would be to provide a working patch, not a bad plugin creating another mess. So much time lost on this it’s driving me crazy…
Website related to this issue is YOAST PREMIUM, please get back to me.

Plugin does not resolves but creates problems. After installing there’re plenty of errors in GSC.

I was hoping that there was more prominent and nagging message about this. better than all other messages I see on admin. this one was very important and I wasn’t aware of the problem only when I was checking the plugin settings. so minus star. but since you offered a solution I’m giving it 4 stars. thanks.

I installed the plugin the same day it was released, and I began to suspect the following days that it was not working properly because it was indexing all the attachments again. My suspicions were true, when I uninstalled the plugin I received thousands of 404 errors in my search console for those attachments that supposedly were being purged from the index. I’ve also noticed that looking at Google (site: mysite.com inurl: attachment_id) empty pages appear that previously did not appear and correspond to those attachments wrongly indexed.
My solution?
1) Copy the attachment URLs from the sitemaps and paste it them in a .txt file
2) Unintall the plugin
3) Block the attachment-id using robots.txt
4) Every day take 1000 url and delete them from the Google Search console.
With this method is possible to delete 1000 attachment in a day, so I think is more effective and faster.
Everything I have said is based on my personal experience, the plugin may work for other users, but in my case it has not been that way. Even so I appreciate the attempt to create the plugin to solve the problem with Panda that many have suffered.
