Remove #main from attachment page URLs

[Alexander]

Hello,

when I switched to GeneratePress, I noticed that a URL parameter (or whatever it is called) “#main” is appended to URLs of my attachment pages. This didn’t happen with my old theme.

Example: https://www.alex-kunz.com/photos/summer-dawn-at-garnet-peak/#main

I didn’t think of it much at first, but it seems that this has caused Google to drop >5000 attachment pages with photos from their search index. Yikes! I’m running a photography site and DO want the attachments to be indexed (Yoast SEO is configured to include them in the sitemap).

How do I remove this #main thing from the attachment page URLs?

Thanks
Alex.

Oh, you had that question already in the past – sorry that I missed this. The solution works for me as well.

Thank you, Leo!
