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.

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.

What do you mean this?

What is insert? insert to where?

and I don't want to stop indexing all topics.

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/*

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.

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. )

go to Dashboard > wpForo > Settings > wpForo SEO settings and add the needed URL in Noindex forum page URLs field.

This page is got indexed in Google, but I don't want it.

Sorted page is here

 

How to not index these sorted pages?

Need to write some code?
