How do I make a non index-able page on my wordpress website? Please help :)

LuckySeven7 · Sep 13, 2012

As title says, I want a single page on my WP website to NOT be indexed on the search engines. This page will have special content on that should only be available if I send someone the direct link. ie I DO NOT want them to be able to find this page anywhere in google.

Please help guys, thank you.

Do you have Platinum SEO or similar wordpress plugin installed?

That generally gives you the option to noindex/nofollow pages on the edit post screen itself.

You have to make a robots.txt for that. Its a txt file that tells search engines what pages to index and what pages not to index. Just google around "How to make robots.txt" and you will find the solution.

Use robots.txt to exclude the page, Google it.

The easiest way to prevent a page from being indexed is to simply add this to the meta tags:
<meta name="robots" content="noindex">

Since it's wordpress that may be a little more difficult..Adding it to the global meta tags would make the whole site non-indexable..So you may want to consider making a page outside of wordpress and adding that meta tag to it.

you can do it with platinum seo pack or similar seo plugins (noindex, nofollow)
with "wp hide post" plugin you can hide it in feeds, search results, tags ...

1. Find the page/post ID;
2. edit your theme's header.php;
3. right AFTER <head> add the following (replace ID with the actual numeric id):

* for post:

Code:

<?php if (is_single('[COLOR=#ff0000]ID[/COLOR]')) { ?>
<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW">
<?php } ?>

* for page:

Code:

<?php if (is_page('[COLOR=#ff0000]ID[/COLOR]')) { ?>
<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW">
<?php } ?>
