Its Redirecting to Home page. Can we redirect it to post page itself. If yes can you please help me with the code.

How to do that with the latest version now.

Yes, Priya. This is quite a nightmare. I have a website packed with images. I need those images to rank but as images. As it was before. The rest has me extremely confused. What happens if one image is attached to two different articles? Or unattached like logos? Anybody shedding some light here would be truly appreciated.

Like you said, the redirect fix is to be used with care. The recent update released on 6th March alters the way the plugin handles unattached media items as well.

If the links continue to appear in the SERPs, it’s possible that you may have to wait a while for SERPs to update.

Also, Yoast 7.0 has been released on 6th March, 2018 and is a major update to many aspects of the plugin, including the redirect option. Here’s the link: https://yoast.com/wordpress/plugins/seo/change-log-wordpress-seo/

Max! Many thanks for your knowledge.
You save me!
I don’t know why but with the Yoast SEO does not work and neither the PHP code (Make a loop)
Thanks

You have to be really careful not to remove such files via a plugin (as some people suggest).

simply into the function. php

##

function mytheme_redirect_attachment_page() {
if ( is_attachment() ) {
global $post;
if ( $post && $post->post_parent ) {
wp_redirect( esc_url( get_permalink( $post->post_parent ) ), 301 );
exit;
} else {
wp_redirect( esc_url( home_url( ‘/’ ) ), 301 );
exit;
}
}
}
add_action( ‘template_redirect’, ‘mytheme_redirect_attachment_page’ );
