Indexed, though using noindex,nofollow on custom header

  • Hi,

    I am currently using a real management page, and on the custom header field, I used <meta name=’robots’ content=’noindex,nofollow’>. Even this way, the pages were indexed by Google. So I tried to use “Disallow: /gerenciar-inscricoes/*” on robots.txt, but the continue to be indexed, as you can see here https://cl.ly/fe760b180d4e

    What could I do to avoid indexing?

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

    Hi,

    Can you send over the URL to the management page, need to do a test on it.

    But it shouldn’t be blocked in robots.txt, the noindex won’t take effect.

    From the Google docs:

    Important! For the noindex directive to be effective, the page must not be blocked by a robots.txt file. If the page is blocked by a robots.txt file, the crawler will never see the noindex directive, and the page can still appear in search results, for example if other pages link to it.

    Hi,

    I disable Disallow on robots.txt.

    Is there a way to send URL to the management page privately for you?

    Thanks

    Hi,

    Yes, I got the message. Disabled disallow on robots.txt, and resubmitted on GSC for validation. If there is still the warnings, I will try to use canonical instead of noindex.

    Thanks

    By the way, on the wordpress management page I selected noindex and nofollow on Yoast plugin https://prnt.sc/pq45d8 and on the StCR > Management page there is also a custom meta head https://prnt.sc/pq46qz . Is there a problem doing this?

    If you want you can remove the one in the StCR options, but since both the Yoast and the one set in the StCR options are the same it doesn’t cause any issue.
