Change URL of image

Hi there, you can’t change the URL of an image in the media library, but if you don’t want search engines to index an image you can add rel="nofollow" to the image url. Generally all search engines will respect that and not index that image.

Thanks for help, but please I dont know where to add rel=”nofollow” to url in media particuar image. Will you help me?

Side note to shockwave3 Don’t put your link in the post. Use the link field. You look like a spammer when you do what you did.

Hi @shockwave3, I always put the rel="nofollow" right after the

<a>

for links and linked images. It cannot be placed on images that are not linked as the nofollow is not allowed only on images. Sorry for not being clearer on that.

You will have to add that manually by switching to the HTML tab in the editor and typing it into the link code there.

Alternately, if you wish the search engines not to index any of your images, you can edit your robots.txt file and add the following.

User-agent: Googlebot-Image
Disallow: /

This would be done through the File Manager or cPanel on your hosting account.
