Disable Image attachements

  • I got a technical SEO question to do with this theme.

    I search for pages that have been indexed by google for my site.

    However, I see pages that have URL’s indexed that are for just my images. For example, I would go to my site and find a page with just a image (on its own) I had uploaded previously to another post.

    how do you prevent this happening for the future?
    How can I remove the image pages?
    Is it good SEO practice to remove these pages?

    I have done my own research and found: https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-disable-image-attachment-pages-in-wordpress/

    But this seems to re-direct rather than to remove. Plus I can only do this with yeost premium so adding a custom script may have to be an option.

    Thanks,
    Lucas

    Hi there,

    Since WP media items are a custom post type, each of them have a post created automatically for them.

    I do believe redirecting them is the only option.

    Let me know if you need more info ??
