Hi there
I am giving you details about the errors that are 200 in number and very annoying. I am getting the errors in the google search console, these are all images and all of them occur in image files which either I have used as logo or headers. When I fetch as google it gives redirect. Kindly tell me why am I getting this error and give a solution for this. When I turn off redirect to attachment itself and test live url it didn’t return any error. The image URL is indexed successfully. So, what should I do because it will then create separate pages for image files? I can provide screenshots if needed.

The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

When you upload media (an image or video for example) to WordPress, it doesn’t just save the media, it creates an attachment URL for it. These attachment pages are quite empty: they contain the media item and maybe a title if you entered one. Because of that, if you never use these attachment URLs, it’s better to disable them, and redirect them to the media item itself, which is what the Yoast SEO plugin does for you. It makes sure that the attachment URL redirects to the image itself.

Could you please provide some URLs of the issues with your image files? Can you also expound further on the crawl issue that Google is detecting for this?

The image link you provided is an attachment page. Please, make sure that you’ve enabled the media (attachment) redirect from the Yoast SEO -> Search Appearance -> Media (attachment) tab.

On the other hand, we looked at your site sitemap and we see that it is not generated by Yoast SEO but it is generated by Jetpack which you can find here https://filectory.com/sitemap.xml. It is recommended to disable the Jetpack specific sitemap and submit Yoast SEO specific sitemap to your Google Search Console property only.

Md Mazedul Islam Khan Bro you are right those errors occur in https://filectory.com/sitemap.xml. But after disabling media redirect the are no errors. But now I will remove https://filectory.com/sitemap.xml from sitemap and enable redirect and see what happens. Thankx for your support

Do I need to disallow the removed sitemap i.e https://filectory.com/sitemap.xml or just removing it from sitemap will be enough

@mj00712 Removing/Deleting the sitemap.xml would be enough.
