Description

The Exclude Attachment Link Suggestions plugin enhances your WordPress editing experience by filtering out attachment links from the link suggestions that appear when you’re adding links in the Gutenberg block editor.

When you type in the link input field in any Gutenberg block, WordPress normally suggests various content including posts, pages, and media attachments. This plugin specifically removes attachment suggestions, leaving only meaningful content like posts and pages in your link suggestions.

Key Features:

  • Automatically filters out attachment links from Gutenberg editor link suggestions
  • Works seamlessly with all Gutenberg blocks that support linking
  • Lightweight and performance-optimized
  • No configuration required – works immediately after activation
  • Compatible with WordPress 5.0+ and the latest versions

Why Use This Plugin?
