    Hello,

    I was wondering how to completely hide my testing area from search engines, getting indexed/seen/ etc…

    Lets say I have an active installation already working at https://www.example.com. Now I wish to do a new install under https://www.example.com/testing.

    I want the second example “invisible”. The first thing I am doing is removing the pingomatic link and making sure there is nothing in that box although I am sure there is more i can do to work freely.

    Thanks

  • you can do that by making changes from the wordpress admin panel

    go to admin panel -> settings -> privacy and select second option

    Hi,

    provided steps by himanshup is only block search engines to search but if any one who does know your blog can visit it..to stop all them you can block access from htaccess file of your domain/blog..

    <LIMIT GET>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from xx.xx.xx.xx [IP address]
</LIMIT>

    This will allow to access your blog from the provided IP address only

    Thanks,
