<p>Completely disable “attachment” pages created by WordPress.</p>
<p>By default, WordPress creates a page for each of your attachments. This is can be undesirable because of two reasons:</p>
<h3>Search engine optimization</h3>
<p>Attachment pages don’t have any content, except an image, so they provide little value and can negatively affect your SEO because they are so-called <a href="https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/guidelines/thin-content" rel="nofollow ugc">thin content</a>. Even worse, attachment pages may in some cases rank higher than your actual content pages which leads to a poor user experience.</p>
<h3>Reserved slugs</h3>
<p>Attachment pages can accidentally reserve slugs on your site. Let’s say you upload an image named <strong>contact.jpeg</strong>, an attachment page <code>https://example.com/contact</code> is automatically created. If you then try to create a page named <strong>Contact</strong>, the URL for that page will be <code>https://example.com/contact-2</code> which isn’t that great.</p>
<h3>How it works</h3>
<p>This plugin works by automatically setting all attachment slugs to an unique id, so they won’t conflict with your pages. If an attachment page is accessed, the plugin will set a 404 status code and display the “page not found” template.</p>
<p>You can also mangle any existing attachment slugs so they won’t cause any issues in the future.</p>
<h3>WP CLI support</h3>
<p>The plugin supports WP CLI.</p>
<h4>Mangle existing attachment slugs</h4>
<pre><code>wp disable-media-pages mangle
</code></pre>
<h4>Restore attachment slugs</h4>
<pre><code>wp disable-media-pages restore
</code></pre>
<h3>Note for WordPress 6.4</h3>
<p>WordPress 6.4 includes <a href="https://make.wordpress.org/core/2023/10/16/changes-to-attachment-pages/" rel="nofollow ugc">a new feature</a> that allows you to disable attachment pages. However, this feature redirects attachment pages to the file URL instead of returning a 404 error. To completely disable attachment pages, you should use this plugin instead. The WP 6.4 feature also does not fix the issue where attachment pages reserve slugs for pages.</p>
<p>Also, there is not user interface to enable or disable media pages, they are automatically disabled for new sites but remain enabled for existing sites.</p>
<p>Because of these issues, I recommend you to use this plugin instead of the built-in feature. The plugin will be updated in the foreseeable future, at least until attachment pages are completely removed from WordPress core and older WordPress versions are no longer in use.</p>
