<p>The <span style="color: #ff0000">community</span> is the example, in your case, it can differ. </p>]]></content:encoded>

<p>1. So there's no way to noindex the entire wpForo but rather you must noindex forum by forum, is that correct?</p>
<p>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?</p>
<p>https://www.xyz.com/community/how-to-register/*</p>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I would like to make my forum private and accessible to members only. I understand how to do this with access levels.</p>
<p>My concern is my forum being indexed by search engines. I want no search engines indexing any content in my forum.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Is there a way to add the &lt;meta name="robots" content="noindex" /&gt; tag in wpForo to accomplish this?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks,</p>
<p> </p>
