Why has my site got orphaned image pages?

Hello,

I raised a “Premium Support” ticket yesterday but no one has answered.

Every since I added Kadence to a freshly constructed site the Ahrefs crawl has discovered hundreds of orphaned pages. These are pages each with one of the images in the media repository. There are 700+ and it’s affecting the health score and probably the site’s score in Google.

Ahrefs calls them “Orphan page (has no incoming internal links)”

Here’s an example: *Login to see link

*Login to see link – that’s the blog post. There shouldn’t be a page for an image that appears in the post, just the image file itself.

Here’s the code for the content in the page:

<div id="inner-wrap" class="wrap hfeed kt-clear">
<link rel='stylesheet' id='kadence-content-css' href='*Login to see link media='all' />
<div id="primary" class="content-area">
<div class="content-container site-container">
<main id="main" class="site-main" role="main">
<div class="content-wrap">
<article id="post-36044" class="entry content-bg single-entry post-36044 attachment type-attachment status-inherit hentry">
<div class="entry-content-wrap">
<header class="entry-header attachment-title title-align-inherit title-tablet-align-inherit title-mobile-align-inherit">
<h1 class="entry-title">Lotus_Exige_Sport_380</h1></header>
<div class="entry-content single-content">
<p class="attachment"><a href='*Login to see link width="300" height="225" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" class="attachment-medium size-medium lazyload" alt="Lotus Exige Sport 380" loading="lazy" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" title="Lotus_Exige_Sport_380 3" data-src="*Login to see link data-srcset="*Login to see link 300w, *Login to see link 768w, *Login to see link 600w, *Login to see link 1024w"></a></p>
</div>
</div>
</article>
</div>
</main>
</div>
</div>
<span id="kadence-conversion-end-of-content"></span> </div>

Is Kadence doing this?
