Hello,
I would like to make my forum private and accessible to members only. I understand how to do this with access levels.
My concern is my forum being indexed by search engines. I want no search engines indexing any content in my forum.
Is there a way to add the <meta name="robots" content="noindex" /> tag in wpForo to accomplish this?
Thanks,
Andrew
Hi @afjs,
wpForo has an option to disable user profile indexing in Dashboard > Forums > Settings > Features admin page. The option called "Enable User Profile Page indexing".
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".
I'd also suggest you read this support topic: https://wpforo.com/community/how-to-and-troubleshooting-2/is-it-possible-to-exclude-a-sub-forum-from-being-indexed-by-google/#post-46957
Thanks for your reply.
1. So there's no way to noindex the entire wpForo but rather you must noindex forum by forum, is that correct?
2. So if I have a forum with the slug of how-to-register and the location of wpForo is community is the following added into "Noindex forum page URLs" correct?
https://www.xyz.com/community/how-to-register/*
