What It Does

This plugin helps manage attachment pages effectively. It operates in three scenarios based on the status of the parent post.

First, if the parent post is available, a 301 redirect is issued to direct visitors to the parent post. Second, if the parent post has been deleted, a 302 redirect will send visitors to the home page. Lastly, if the parent post is in the trash, a 404 error is returned to avoid redirection loops.

Simply activate the plugin, and it will handle the redirects without any configuration needed.

Comparing to Alternatives

FAQ

No. This plugin needs an existing attachment to work, if you deleted the attachment WordPress will return a 404 for its attachment page and this plugin doesn’t support that scenario.

Since version 1.1 you can do this by adding constants to your wp-config.php file. The example below will switch the redirection codes used by default.

define( 'ATTACHMENT_REDIRECT_CODE', '302' ); define( 'ORPHAN_ATTACHMENT_REDIRECT_CODE', '301' );

Use this at your own risk, only if you know what you’re doing!! No support will be offered for this.
