    I have about 250 media files mostly pdfs, some doc and am trying to figure out the best way to noidex nofollow them. Is there a way I can do this in bulk?

    All those files are on being used on the same page/post or different pages/posts?

    Hey @vijayhardaha thanks for the reply. So they are on different pages and posts.

    You might be able to use the search-replace plugin to replace post content but to do that you’ll have to find a way to match those content only so that it doesn’t change anything else.

    For example: <a href="https://example.com/this-is-pdf-file-url.pdf" rel="nofollow">....</a> this is the URL
    so you can try to search for .pdf" rel="nofollow and replace with .pdf" rel="no-idex nofollow (just example)

    You need to find a better way to match things to perform a replacement. and don’t test things on the live website. create a staging website to test things first then do anything on life after taking a full backup.
