    HI Lukas,

    Thanks for your question, but after this reply please reach out to us on VFB Pro support.
    All WordPress attachments uploaded to the wp-content/uploads folder are public. VFB Pro uploads to a subfolder by default. If you do not want these attachments to be indexed, you will need to use a plugin like Yoast SEO to edit your robots.txt file to exclude the uploads folder from being indexed (go to SEO > Tools > File Editor). Once Google reindexes your site, they will no longer display any of your uploads when searched.

    The correct code for robots.txt to block VFB Pro uploads will look something like this:

    User-agent: *
    Disallow: /wp-admin/
    Allow: /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php
    Disallow: /wp-content/uploads/vfb

    Hope this helps.
