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 with Str::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.

• PHP >= 8.1
• Acorn >= 3.0

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

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
