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".

In case you want to say thank you !)
We'd really appreciate and be thankful if you leave a good review on plugin page. This is the best way to say thank you to this project and support team.

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">

In case you want to say thank you !)
