It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress. ![](https://ps.w.org/attachment-slug/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=1578306) # Attachment Slugs for WordPress By [Sébastien Dumont](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sebd86/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/attachment-slug.2.0.0.zip) * [Details](https://test.wordpress.org/plugins/attachment-slug/#description) * [Reviews](https://test.wordpress.org/plugins/attachment-slug/#reviews) * [Installation](https://test.wordpress.org/plugins/attachment-slug/#installation) * [Development](https://test.wordpress.org/plugins/attachment-slug/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/attachment-slug/) ## Description **Attachment Slugs for WordPress** enables you to add permalink support for media attachments making the attachment URLs more friendly and great for SEO results should you decide to index your attachments. You can also edit the permalink slug of an individual attachment which you can not do via “Quick Edit” like other post types. Changing the attachment title does not update the permalink slug so this is handy to have should you want to rename the URL for the attachment. #### How to edit an attachment slug? Simply go to the media library and edit the item you wish to rename. Then on the left side under “Attachment Slug” you can rename the slug. Press the “Update” button and that’s it. #### Contribute on GitHub You can [contribute code](https://github.com/seb86/attachment-slugs/blob/master/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md) to this plugin via the [GitHub](https://github.com/seb86/attachment-slugs/blob/master/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md) repository. #### Support Use the WordPress.org forums for [community support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/attachment-slug).

I’ve always just redirected the attachment page, but when you *do* want to use it, having a slug prefix (like “media/title-of-attachment”) is sooooo much nicer ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/1082e95ef7ba8715eca5234e370950565ef4c685c5b44bf1ed8f875c14620d6c? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[its so Good. work well](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/its-so-good-work-well/)󠁿 [amareza98](https://profiles.wordpress.org/amareza98/) December 5, 2018 4 replies thanks you for this plugin. متشکرم از اینکهداین افزونه ذو ساختید. در وقتم صرفه جویی کرد و بخوبی کار کرد.
