Disable Media Pages

Completely disable “attachment” pages created by WordPress. By default, WordPress creates a page for each of your attachments. This is can be undesirable because of two reasons: Search engine optimization Attachment pages don’t have any content, except an image, so they provide little value and can negatively affect your SEO because they are so-called thin content. Even worse, attachment pages may in some cases rank higher than your actual content pages which leads to a poor user experience. Reserved slugs Attachment pages can accidentally reserve slugs on your site. Let’s say you upload an image named contact.jpeg, an attachment page https://example.com/contact is automatically created. If you then try to create a page named Contact, the URL for that page will be https://example.com/contact-2 which isn’t that great. How it works This plugin works by automatically setting all attachment slugs to an unique id, so they won’t conflict with your pages. If an attachment page is accessed, the plugin will set a 404 status code and display the “page not found” template. You can also mangle any existing attachment slugs so they won’t cause any issues in the future. WP CLI support The plugin supports WP CLI. Mangle existing attachment slugs wp disable-media-pages mangle Restore attachment slugs wp disable-media-pages restore Note for WordPress 6.4 WordPress 6.4 includes a new feature that allows you to disable attachment pages. However, this feature redirects attachment pages to the file URL instead of returning a 404 error. To completely disable attachment pages, you should use this plugin instead. The WP 6.4 feature also does not fix the issue where attachment pages reserve slugs for pages. Also, there is not user interface to enable or disable media pages, they are automatically disabled for new sites but remain enabled for existing sites. Because of these issues, I recommend you to use this plugin instead of the built-in feature. The plugin will be updated in the foreseeable future, at least until attachment pages are completely removed from WordPress core and older WordPress versions are no longer in use. Thanks Special thanks to Greg Schoppe for his research and inspiration that helped a lot with developing this plugin. Support the plugin Maintaining a WordPress plugin is a lot of work. If you like the plugin, please consider rating it on WordPress.org. You can also support me on GitHub sponsors. Thank you!

Safe SVG

Safe SVG is the best way to Allow SVG Uploads in WordPress! It gives you the ability to allow SVG uploads whilst making sure that they’re sanitized to stop SVG/XML vulnerabilities affecting your site. It also gives you the ability to preview your uploaded SVGs in the media library in all views. Current Features Sanitised SVGs – Don’t open up security holes in your WordPress site by allowing uploads of unsanitised files. SVGO Optimisation – Runs your SVGs through the SVGO tool on upload to save you space. This feature is disabled by default but can be enabled by adding the following code: add_filter( 'safe_svg_optimizer_enabled', '__return_true' ); View SVGs in the Media Library – Gone are the days of guessing which SVG is the correct one, we’ll enable SVG previews in the WordPress media library. Choose Who Can Upload – Restrict SVG uploads to certain users on your WordPress site or allow anyone to upload. Initially a proof of concept for #24251. SVG Sanitization is done through the following library: https://github.com/darylldoyle/svg-sanitizer. SVG Optimization is done through the following library: https://github.com/svg/svgo. Technical: Upload Path Security WordPress’s _wp_handle_upload( $file, $action ) function allows any $action value, which determines the filter hook name: {$action}_prefilter. Safe SVG hooks common actions like wp_handle_upload and wp_handle_sideload, but cannot hook arbitrary custom actions defined by third-party code. Since upload actions are unbounded and MIME allowances are global, we cannot guarantee sanitization coverage across all possible upload paths.
