    So I just learned that WordPress makes and attachment page for every media that is uploaded. I find this highly useless and very annoying specially when those media attachment pages are taking the URL that I would like to have for my actual pages. One thing I can't understand. Why I can't edit the attachment URLs which are on my sites root (my-site.com/attachment-URL)? All other attachment URLs are editable (my-site.com/something/attachment-URL, my-site.com/something/nothing/attachment-URL, my-site.com/something/nothing/everything/attachment-URL).

    For WordPress core functions, read up on WordPress here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Image_and_File_Attachments

    When you show an image in your post, you can choose to link it to nothing, the attachment page, or the image file itself. The first time you choose nothing or image file, it will remember and the next time that will be the default.

    You you can change the permalink for attachments, click the image, then see on the right below the fields the link "Edit more details".

    As far as taking the permalink, before you upload an image/media change the file name that you don't want to use on your post.

    name of image: pretty-dress-for-spring-image.jpg
    name of post permalink: pretty-dress-for-spring

    Then you have no conflicts.

    Thank you for your information.

    I know where to find "Edit more detail". The issue here was that I couldn't edit the the attachments that are on my home page immediately located after my root domain my-site.com/HERE.

    Also the issue raised because I'm using menu icons in this my http://www.raccoon.shop site. You see those big round menu images? The one with the cat has image named "Home and living.jpg". When pressing this menu button it will take me to raccoon.shop/home-and-living-2 page. That's when I noticed that something is taking the actual URL that I need. For me only option was to delete permanently all the menu icons, re-edit the page URLs and then upload back those icons.

    But like you said maybe in the future I should name my images like Home and living image.jpg.
