How To Keep WordPress Posts And Pages Hidden From Search Engines Bots?

[Divvy]

Hello friends,

Is there a plugin or other option to keep your wordpress posts and pages private from the search engines?

Thanks!

Umm, no need for a plugin. Just update your robots.txt to disallow google bot et al.

create a text file called robots.txt
add the following in that.

User-Agent: Google
Disallow: /

User-Agent: Googlebot
Disallow: /

User-Agent: WIRE
Disallow: /

if you want to disallow from all engines add this

User-Agent: *
Disallow: /

LOOOL, why would you use a plugin for robots.txt? It is a TEXT file, where you need to add just ONE line, to do what you want. You need a GUI for that?

To exclude ALL robots add:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

To ALLOW them:

User-agent: *
Disallow:

To dissalow only Googlebot:

User-agent: Googlebot
Disallow: /

Dont know If you read my first page, but I was looking to hide only wordpress posts and pages, not the entire website.

check wp Privacy Settings, no need any plugin or robot.txt

You can also used above method to exclude limited Pages and posts. i don't know your pages link and structure and posts structure.

You can done this like this

User-agent: *
Disallow: /*category=$

for pages

User-agent: *
Disallow: /*pages=$

replace page category with your managed names.
