Is there any way, short of deleting a forum, to stop google from indexing it?
Thanks!
Hi @eel,
wpForo allows you to set noindex any forum topic and directory in Dashboard > Forums > Tools > Misc Tab. The option name is "Noindex forum page URLs".
Thanks, Alvina. I'm not techy, unfortunately. To be clear, there are numerous urls in the sub-forum. How would I note this in the noindex space?
https://www.elsaelsa.com/forum/lounge/
https://www.elsaelsa.com/forum/lounge/*
??
Thanks again for your help.
@eel,
Please add as a new line this URL in the Dashboard > Forums > Tools > Misc Tab > "Noindex forum page URLs" textarea.
https://www.elsaelsa.com/forum/lounge/*
Save it, delete all caches, go to that sub-forum page on front-end, refresh it, press CTRL+U and find this HTML in the wpForo Section:
<meta name="robots" content="noindex">
Thank you!
