    Hello again,

    thanks for last reply,

    this time I want to disable all posts from indexing (Now I think is no necessary to show posts in google),

    I can see the option “Apply?noindex?to Posts? –?post” in “Robots Meta Settings”->”Indexing”, but I stoped do this after reading “Warning: No site should enable these options for Posts and Pages.”

    Why I shouldn’t do this for posts ?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hello!

    You can safely tick the box if you do not think your content needs to be found via search engines.

    Still, less content means fewer opportunities for people to land on your website. But I checked out a few of your posts, and the posts are for a select group of active members in your community and, indeed, seem unnecessary for search engines.

    For most people, I recommend manually applying noindex per post so you can evaluate if this is necessary. This prevents accidentally publishing something that can never be found. But you can also do this the other way around; you can override the global “noindex” on a per-post basis. Totally up to you ??

    I hope this helps. Have a lovely day!
