    Dear creators,

    Thank you for this wonderful plugin, it’s really delightful.
    However I’ve noticed one thing that keeps bothering me. When I use search for the published post it returns some Envira galleries as well. When I click on it I got 404 error. Is there a way to prevent search from including Envira galleries?

    Thank you and have a nice day!

    Hi @nascas 🙂

    Thank you for the kind comments! 🙂 Can you please go into your WordPress admin and go to Settings >> Permalinks and click Save again to flush the permalinks to see if that helps?

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply.
    I went to settins->permalinks, changed some settings and saved them (as they were before) but the problem is still there.
    When I hit search there is still an Envira project. When I click on it I get a 404 page and the url link is /?post_type=envira&p=12137.

    Hi again,

    I also noticed that Google indexes gallery entries/attachments as well.
    http://www.domain.com/?attachment_id=1811

    Other attachments that are not a part of Envira Gallery are not indexed or seen in search engine.

    Do you think there is a way we could eliminate this?

    Hi @nascas,

    You should be able to no-index the Envira custom post types and attachments with:

    Hi 🙂

    Ok, I see what’s happening here.

    Envira doesn’t provide a custom post template for galleries and albums. But when using the standalone feature, Envira will use your theme’s single.php.

    If doing a custom URL query (as shown above with the /?post_type=envira&p=12137, since there isn’t a page template in your theme for those CPTs it’s returning a 404 error.

    You’d need to create custom page templates for Envira and if using albums for Envira Albums as well and then have a custom loop on that page template.

    You can read more about custom page templates here:

    Hi akyusa01,

    Thanks for your reply. 🙂
    Do you think I could prevent indexing by adding an exception in robots.txt file?

    How will a custom page template prevent site search from returning existing galleries?

    Oh, wait, I think there is an option in YOAST SEO “Redirect attachments URLs to the attachment itself” that should be set to off.

    EDIT: that didn’t prevent Google from indexing attachments but it’s showing the image instead of a page with a thumbnail. Better than before but still not happy about it.

    Hi @nascas 🙂

    Do you have the Standalone option enabled on Envira under Envira Gallery >> Settings >> Standalone tab?

    I don’t see settings. I’m using free version, perhaps you’re talking about upgraded one?

    Hi @nascas,

    If you’re looking to simply hide images from search engines flat out, you might try this approach:

    Thanks, I did that.
    But that doesn’t solve showing Envira Galleries when doing a site search …

    I see.

    You might want to give this plugin a try, which will let you refine the search and even exclude things:

    Hi,
    Thank you for this. It looks like this is the thing I’m looking for.
    I see you have to build the index first but then the posts/pages are added automatically.
