301 redirect in free version

Hello @kaostc

Thanks for reaching out about the 301 redirect. To see what’s going on, please share a screenshot of what you have in WordPress > Yoast SEO > Settings > Advanced > Media pages. You can use any image-sharing service like https://pasteboard.co/, https://snag.gy/, https://imgur.com/, https://snipboard.io/, or even upload the screenshot to your own website. Once you upload it to an image-sharing service, please share the link to the image here.

Thanks for your answer. First option is disabled so everything else is grayed out.

Thanks a lot!

Hey @kaostc,

Thank you for your reply.

If you have it on disabled (recommended for most sites) – this is what it does. Meaning: WordPress creates attachment pages for all your media files. In most cases, you don’t want those pages to exists as they don’t have any SEO benefit – that’s why Yoast SEO redirects the attachment page to the actual file. If you’d enable the toggle, you would see the attachment page. For more details and best practices, please see https://yoast.com/features/redirect-attachment-urls/

Great! thanks a lot for your explanation.
