Disable Media Pages is an Acorn package for WordPress that disables media attachment pages and generates unique UUID's for each media attachment's post_name
to prevent clashing.
WordPress 6.4 will bring the ability to "disable" attachment pages but attachments will still generate unnecessary slugs based on the uploaded media's filename.
- Replaces media attachment
post_name
slugs with randomly generated UUID's withStr::uuid()
. - Replaces the "View" media URL with a direct link to the media.
- 404's any requests made to media attachment page slugs.
- Easily convert/revert existing media page slugs using Acorn's CLI.
Install via Composer:
$ composer require log1x/acorn-disable-media-pages
This package has no configuration and will start working once installed.
To convert existing media, simply use the following Acorn command:
$ wp acorn media:generate-slugs
Warning
Reverting your attachment post_name
slugs may not restore them 1:1 to what they were prior to conversion.
This command simply re-generates the slugs for each media attachment based on the existing post_title
falling back to the filename if the existing post_title
is empty.
$ wp acorn media:generate-slugs --revert
