Disable Media Pages

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 58% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price.

Reviewers say it does one job cleanly, freeing up attachment page slugs without fuss, and several mention it worked straight away with clear docs.

   Needed the media page slugs for content pages but the pictures, being named after the pages, blocked all the required slugs. This plugin did the trick just fine! 2800 slugs renamed without errors and the desired urls are usable again rightaway. Great stuff!

   I create a lot of small business service + location pages. I was using two other plugins, one to duplicate a page, and lpagery to create the pages themselves. This is a lot of images and a lot of data. I was not able to have my base service urls as I wanted them. WordPress kept putting a number at the end (/service-3/). Nothing I tried would let me remove that number unless I changed my slug altogether (which for internal linking was a lot of work) I scoured the internet, tried changing and reseting my permalink structure, clearing my cache, etc and nothing worked. I came across this plugin and in 30 seconds it fixed my problem. HIGHLY reccomend if you’re have a lot of similar pages and images. This is a life saver!

   Well, this is exactly what I needed. I needed to release all of the URLs that were created for the attachment pages, and remove the links to the attachment pages. All I can say is wow!! Great job. I wish this was a feature built into WordPress. This plugin made me a “happy camper” today!!

   Great that this plugin allows avoiding thin content and keeps the value-able slug namespace clean! On my portfolio website I have a lot of images and projects. And the featured image per project often/mostly is named just as the base project URL. So I would have had namespace clashes all over. And inconsistent ones! If I first upload an image then the project page gets the ugly -2 sufix, if I first create the project page and later upload the pic, then the picture media page gets the ugly -2 suffix. Glad that I could avoid these name clashes right from the beginning of my website’s lifecycle! It worked fine so far! And I had no conflicts with other plugins which also manipulate the Media Library, among them:Media File Renamer, Media Deduper, Perfect Images.
