Hello Kguyer,
We are sorry about the redirect; when we visited https://ultraviolet.com/biologic-uv-water-purifiers-test/, it indeed throws a 404 error.
Regarding the Media & attachment URLs settings, when you upload media (an image or video for example) to WordPress, it doesn’t just save the media, it creates an attachment URL for it. These attachment pages are quite empty; they contain the media item and maybe a title if you entered one. Because of that, if you never use these attachment URLs, it’s better to disable them, and redirect them to the media item itself.
Therefore, choosing Yes or No depends on you. Thanks
Hi Maybellyne,
So how do I fix…
https://ultraviolet.com/biologic-uv-water-purifiers/
from automatically redirecting to
https://ultraviolet.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/biologic-uv-water-purifiers.png
or now the 404 error since I deleted the png?
Is the redirect somewhere in Yoast, the PNG was has been in the media library since 2014, and this only happened when I update Yoast yesterday.
Thanks – Kelleen
Hello Kguyer,
We do not think the redirect is being handled by Yoast SEO since it has no redirect feature. To confirm, temporarily disable the plugin and see if the problem persists.
Do let us know how it goes
Hi Maybellyne,
Well I purchased the premium Yoast subscription, something I was going to do anyway and you are right, it is not handling it. This must be a WP glitch. Once I make a duplicate of the page and it becomes a draft, I change what needs to be changed, I move original into trash, change permalink on the duplicate to match the original, save and publish it. WP/Plug-in changes permalink back and all link to redirect to the original page permalink, so I get an error. It must me another WP or another plug-in. I will put some other posts on other forums to see if anyone is having issue.
Thanks for your help. – Kelleen
