Creates dashboard where you can attach file to its parent post or add remove canonical tag for file.
Creates dashboard to edit the.htacess file for the in case there are additional files in the directory that were uploaded outside of wordpress ..
Files cannot have standard canonical tag added in the and instead the canonical tag has to be added via header when the file is requested from the server.
Expected PDF files and other attachments will be replaced in search results with the post or page counterparts, and we will be able to measure the traffic to those pages and provide calls to action for downloading the file, submitting contact forms, etc.
As long as the attachment content is similar to the URL, you should have no problem encouraging the search engines to choose the correct version..
When you remove by editing the htaccess file, the associations will still in the database as option for that media item, but since they are not in the.htaccess file, they will be useless..
The most likely case for this would be if you migrated to wordpress moved directory or files into the folder vs uplaoding through wordpress.
Our editor does not require the media item be attached to post, it just makes it possible to use the bulk feature to attach vs having to do it one at time.
The plugin is easy to install and the interface makes it simple to add the canonical tag to pdf files..
