Redirect Attachments & No index

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.

Do you wish to keep your images being crawled? If so, you can easily disallow all your media files from being crawled by adding disallow in your robots.txt.

Here is a Google guide on this: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/35308?hl=en

Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

Hello,

I think we might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.

It is completely secure and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the below plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/temporary-login-without-password/

You can use the above plugin in conjunction with the WP Security Audit Log to monitor what changes our staff might make on your website (if any):

We really look forward to helping you.

Hello,

1- my Redirect Attachments option is ON, and I Redirect Orphan Attachments to homepage, But when I go to image attachment pages all of them redirect to home page even if they are not orphan?

How are you attaching your images to posts/pages? I checked and none of your media files seem to be attached, which is the reason they are redirected to homepage. If you head to Media > Library and filter your media files instead of all media items to show unattached items, it returns all your media items(45 in total).

2- also in the meta boxes for each media file I can see “NOINDEX ROBOTS META IS ENABLED” only for new images, old images attachment page still show as indexed while it should be noindex as the new ones?
I disabled the options and enabled them again but this doesn’t solve the issue, should I go non index them one bye one?

Changing the meta in Global settings only affects any new items. You will have to go through previously added items to change their individual settings.

Hope that helps. If you have any further question(s), please let us know. Thank you.
