Disable shop base and product archive pages for categories etc.

    Hello,

    this topic is coming up from time to time here however with no suitable solution so far. Woocommerce is creating several default product archive pages (e.g. shop base, category and attribute pages, etc.). When setting up customized shops I do not need these default archive pages at all although I am using categories, attributes, etc. Instead I am working with shortcodes or blocks to output products on defined pages.

    Since all these product archive pages are being indexed through search engines is there a way to deactivate them?

    Thanks!

    Hi @georgdem,

    Thanks for reaching out.

    To prevent the WooCommerce default product archive pages from being indexed by search engines, you can try using third-party SEO plugins and set the pages to ‘no-index’.

    You can also try and edit your website’s robots.txt file to disallow search engines from crawling and indexing these pages to see if this makes any differences.

    I hope this helps.
