Thanks, Loes - Mine was set to "No", so I set it to "Yes" and installed the plugin. I will monitor it going forward. I didn't have much traffic, but I noticed a drop, so we shall see.
Happened to me, Loes! See my comment on OnlineBzDog's blog about this... The Yoast SEO Plugin Update Has a Major Bug That Negatively Affected Search Rank. Jim
There's an easy fix on the Yoast website. I found it through the Search Engine Journal site. Checked my blogs and they're both just fine. It has to do with a setting in Yoast. https://yoast.com/media-attachment-urls/
Hi Loes,
Thanks for advising of this situation. I use SEO all in One but I I have Yoast (Inactive) but will look for updates for it.

That was an old update, Loes (7.0). Yoast is currently at 7.5 so there's been a few updates since the bug. I just checked and my Media Attachment setting in Yoast is fine.
Thanks Marion, I just echoed the message, I will add your reply to the blog
