Changing title tag in wordpress media pages
-
Hello!
I have a problem of duplicate title on 59 pages in Worpress.
I Guess it happened after a recent WP update, because, suddenly, I got a peak of 59 from zero in a day.
The SeoMoz crawl report states that there are 59 duplicate title.
As you may see in the picture those are all media pages, whose title is written really badly with the formula postname/filename/blogTitle, ending up with trunkated, too long, title tags, that result in duplicate page title.
How can I simply hide these mediapages or sculpting the title tag the way I want?
I am using all-in-one-seo WP plugin, which doesn't seem to provide a solution.
Thank you all!

If you go to the media page, you should be able to edit it to give it whatever title you want (will be post_name/your_title).

WordPress SEO by Yoast allows you to add a "noindex, follow" to these pages. that will prevent the duplicate issues. You can also remove the media pages from your sitemap.
You can even drill down to each individual image and determine whether you want that image to be indexed or not.
Another option is to remove the link from the image in the post. I know you are dealing with quite a few images but unless you are wanting to promote that image, I would remove the link.
