<p>Please, refer to the Configuration section for additional information on how you can tailor the statistics page to your needs.</p>
<h3>Configuration</h3>
<p>Each user can configure the order of appearance, as well as visibility of each module. These settings are separate for each user, so every different user can have different statistics module configuration. The settings that users can configure are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Module visibility – allows the users to hide/show a particular module. To do that, while in the Uploads Stats page, click the Screen Options in the top right portion of the screen, and toggle the checkbox next to your preferred module.</li>
<li>Module order – allows the users to move the modules in their preferred order. To do that, click and hold the mouse on the icon with squares in the top right portion of your preferred module, then drag it to your preferred location.</li>
<li>Module minimized/maximized – allows the users to minimize or restore a particular module. A minimized module will still appear on the screen (if enabled in Screen Options), but only its title will be visible – no data or charts will be shown for it. To minimize/restore a module, click the dash or restore icon in the top right portion of your preferred module.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Further customization for developers</h3>
<p>WP Uploads Stats is very flexible and completely customizable – it embraces the WordPress Plugin API by using actions and filters where necessary. It has a flexible template system, which allows developers to change the template of each module, as well the main template that renders all modules. Also, the module system is built to be extendable, so creating new modules is easy by building custom plugins or integrating custom code in the active theme.</p>
<p>If you are trying to build something on top of this plugin, and you need help or guidance – feel free to post a support topic in the WordPress Plugin Directory.</p>
<h3>Ideas and bug reports</h3>
<p>Any ideas for new modules or any other additional functionality that users would benefit from are welcome.</p>
<p>Also, plugin translators are very welcome!</p>
<p>If you have an idea for a new feature, or you want to report a bug, or you wish to help with translating, feel free to do it here in the Support tab, or you can do it at the Github repository of the project:</p>

<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>
<h3>Thanks</h3>
<p>Special thanks to Greg Schoppe for <a href="https://gschoppe.com/wordpress/disable-attachment-pages/" rel="nofollow ugc">his research</a> and inspiration that helped a lot with developing this plugin.</p>
