Hi,

I have a wordpress site, which I'd like not to be indexed. Any plugins or ways to do this?
No pages, etc. should be indexed.

Thanks.

Best regards,
Thomas

  • you can go to Settings >> Reading

    Then check the option 'Discourage search engines from indexing this site'

    You can also use some SEO plugins like 'SEO Ultimate'

    I hope this helps!!

    I wish you the best of the best!

    Cheers!

  • Thanks. I set the flag you mention under 'Reading'. Should this be enough?
    Will the plugins just do the same?

  • an alternative way of doing that is upload robots.txt on your website root folder with content:

  • Perfect, thanks guys. It seems that checking the box in the Wordpress settings gives the pages a noindex, so I'll see if that sticks.

    Cheers,

    • It should stick, view source on your website and you'll see in the <head> tag NoIndex.
    • If it doesn't "stick", it's because the search engine isn't obeying the directives. They don't have to, you know.
