  • Hello,

    Thank you for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    It seems like you’re viewing the attachment page of your images.

    When you upload a media file to the WordPress Media Library, WordPress creates a separate media attachment page for each individual file, and having the attachment pages as “noindex” or redirecting to the parent page is actually the preferred method to handle those and we mention the same here: https://rankmath.com/kb/should-you-redirect-attachments/

    In essence, this means that there’s nothing to worry about the attachment pages as the images from the website can and will still be indexed, it’s just the attachment pages, which don’t hold any SEO value, that will not get indexed.

    However, if you still want to index your attachment pages then you can set them to index from WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > Title & Meta > Post Types: Attachments > Media Robots Meta: https://rankmath.com/kb/titles-and-meta/#media-robots-meta

    Hope that helps and please don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any other questions.
     
    Thank you.
