WP-Content folder with Media

    Hey guys,

    Seo yoast used to redirect to the image media folder in WP-content, for example, wp-content/uploads/2017/08/image-here-as-example-min-1.jpg

    and it used to redirect to the page containing the image. I check this in Yoast and it is still enabled.

    I think you guys stopped that. Why? Or how do you enable this to redirect to the page containing the image.

    Thanks,

    Greg

    From Yoast SEO v7.0, we no longer redirects the media (attachment) pages to the attached pages. Yoast SEO now redirects all the media attachment file to the media file itself as previously this feature didn’t work very well when a single media attached to multiple pages. So, the plugin couldn’t make any redirects.

    That makes sense if the image is attached to different pages.

    Personally, I thought it was better when you redirected to the page. What I would do is redirect to the original page only. If that would be possible.

    Hello @gfowler

    It was a decision made by the Yoast team with the release of Yoast SEO v7.0. If you want to request to have this feature wherein it would redirect to the attached parent post URL, there is currently an open issue here — https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/issues/9316

    It is currently under review by the development team.
