Google is indexing folders created by nggallery

Hey @marcopanichi

Are you sure those are generated by NGG?

Perhaps they are the Attachment pages (a default WordPress feature which creates a separate page for each image.)

Did you manage to find a solution?

hi Ahmed,

sorry for the late response.

You are totally right, they are attachment pages.

But, are they supposed to have an AMP version?

I’ve searched for a setting in your plugin but found nothing. It could be a bug?

Hey @marcopanichi,

It’s not a bug, we have not added the support for the attachment pages because it’s not good for SEO.

I would suggest you, to read these articles:

Let me know your thoughts on it.

hi,

Yes, attachment redirection could be the best solution I think, but unfortunally the webiste is very large and I can’t make redirection changes lightly.

The weirdest thing is that GSC tell me that 404 are placed in specific pages, but those pages don’t contain link to amp.

So, for now, I’ve checked 404 errors as solved: the cause don’t exist anymore.

I’ll keep you posted,

Marco

Hey @marcopanichi,

Sure, we will be waiting for your feedback on this.
