Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math support, and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
Can you please share some of the affected URLs with us so we can further check it on our end?
Looking forward to helping you on this one.
hi, thank you. Here is one example, there are 544 of these on my one web site and over 2000 on my other site. They are all URL’s that point to images.
https://tanlijoyweddings.co.uk/corinium-hotel-cotswold-wedding/tjp-101-3/
Can this be sorted out with Rank Math Pro?
Hello,
Thanks for sharing additional information.
The URL you’ve shared with us is seems to be an attachment page. As attachments pages can have a bad impact on SEO, we do recommend to redirect them to avoid any negative impact on your SEO.
However, you can redirect them to avoid them getting indexed using the FREE version of Rank Math just by following the URL below:

hi, thank you. I have done the first part of the instructions, but cannot add the code snippet – ‘To add the code snippet, navigate to Appearance > Theme File Editor (for a Classic Theme) or Tools > Theme File Editor (for a Block Theme) inside your WordPress admin area. ‘ I dont have a ‘them file editor’ anywhere. Can you advise? I use wordpress with a flothemes theme.
Hello,
1. Some developers disable it for site security. There are also plugins that could be disabling it for the same reason. I would suggest disabling all plugins to be sure it is not being disabled by a plugin. You can use this plugin to do that safely, without breaking your site. If it is not being done by a plugin check your wp-config.php file (from cPanel/FTP) for the following line:
define( 'DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT', true );
change true to false, and save the file. Once you’re done, you should be able to see theme file editor option.
2. If the above process doesn’t work for you, another option can be to edit functions.php file directly by using FTP/cPanel.
3. If you don’t have access to a cPanel/FTP, you can use WP File Manager plugin to access files.
Let us know how it goes. Looking forward to helping you.
Thank you.
