I am running a community website for Japanese users who wants to learn Korean language.
This page is got indexed in Google, but I don't want it.
How to not index these sorted pages?
Need to write some code?
Hi @shun,
go to Dashboard > wpForo > Settings > wpForo SEO settings and add the needed URL in Noindex forum page URLs field.
Hello @chris ,
Thank you for your reply.
Do I need to do it for every page if I use that feature?
( I want every page with "?orderby=newest" be noindexed. )
this is a topic, and the last part "?orderby=newest" is just a sorting data, you should not use it in the no-index texatea. You should insert the URL of each topic without "?orderby=newest" to stop google indexing it.
You can use wildcards (*) to stop indexing all topics of certain forum, for example:
https://kankokugo.push.co.jp/qa/how-to-say/*
@robert ,
What do you mean this?
What is insert? insert to where?
and I don't want to stop indexing all topics.

If you don't want to remove all topics of a certain forum, then you don't need to use the wildcards.
There is no way to exclude all URLs with the "?orderby=newest" suffix. We'll add a built-in feature to set "noindex" or change the canonical URL to the main topic URL without the suffix in the upcoming versions.
@robert ,
I look forward to the upcoming versions.
For now, I will try to resolve the issue with writing some PHP code.
Thanks for your fast, kind response.
I solved this problem by writing PHP code.
