 * Please, First of all, David, You are awesome!!!
    All this work and you have the
   donate link to a Non-Profit! You are an example :)! We just did a donation to
   a Non-Profit and right now we can’t but I promise before the end of the Year (
   tax-return-talking) me and my wife will try do the best when we will donate to
   you cause 😀
 * Sorry to bother you here and I really hope that you will help me trough this 
   problem probably is something that can be done thanks to your plugin or probably
   you have the solution or a future implementation… I really don’t know.
 * I was looking for a plugin that was giving me the possibility to modify the way
   WordPress Handle the creation of URL when uploading an image related to his Attachment
   Page image or a way to completely disable the attachment page creation.
 * Example:
    I’m into the page Our-Team located at mydomain.com/our-team/ I want
   to insert an image called david.jpg Wordpress will create an attachment page 
   URL at mydomain.com/our-team/david/ When i’m going to create the page called “
   david” I can’t and wordpress will assign a URL mydomain.com/our-team/david-2/
 * Is there any way to modify the way the attachment page url of the image are created?
   
   For example having an Url for the image attachment page mydomain.com/images/our-
   team/david/ ?
 * Or is there any way to completely avoid the creation of that permalink URL, a
   way to tell wordpress do not create attachment page image.
 * Thanks in advance for everything! 🙂

 * Thanks for the kind words and for your offer to make a donation in support of
   our work; both are great motivators to keep working on the plugin and supporting
   its users. Thanks as well for an interesting question and the detailed explanation
   of your application.
 * Permalinks are a fundamental part of WordPress. They are supported by a number
   of WordPress functions and woven into core logic, themes and plugins. I do not
   believe it is possible or desirable to avoid generating them.
 * They are also generated dynamically, not stored in the database, so replacing
   them entirely would be very complex. You can, however, change the part of the
   Permalink that is unique to each item, and this may work for your application.
 * If you go to the Media/Edit Media screen for one of your items you will see the“
   Permalink” value just under the Title and the “Edit” button to the right of the
   current value. The “editable” part of the Permalink comes from the name/slug 
   of the item. You can edit this value by clicking the “Edit” button. With MLA,
   you can change the name/slug value in a number of other ways:
    1. In the “Quick Edit” area of the Media/Assistant submenu.
    2. In the “Bulk Edit” area of the Media/Assistant submenu.
    3. In the Settings/Media Library Assistant IPTC/EXIF tab.
 * There are some restrictions to keep in mind. WordPress “slug” values must be 
   unique and they are limited to lowercase-alphanumeric and dash (“-“) characters.
   This means that values like your “**_/images/our-team/david/_**” example will
   be “sanitized” to something like “imagesour-teamdavid”.
 * MLA Content Templates can give you some flexibility in generating new name/slug
   values. If you need to apply more complex rules you can use the hooks MLA provides
   to add PHP code to your application.
 * If you can conform to the slug limitations you can use MLA to avoid the page/
   attachment page collisions you’re seeing and get the sensible page Permalinks
   you need.
 * I am marking this topic resolved, but please update it if you have any problems
   or further questions regarding the above suggestions. Thanks for your interest
   in the plugin.
