Return the status 404

  • I have a page that I have now put in the draft because it has a satus error. I did the SEO adjustment in YOAST for no index, however, when I view the page through the Devtools tool, the page responds with status 200 I need to return status 404. How can I make this change every time I need it?
    I also have the cart (https://www.gabster.com.br/cart/) page, but it does not exist in the pane and is returning status 200.

    Both are returning 404 for me. Either you’ve since resolved this or the results you were seeing are a result of caching by your browser.

    Noindexing a published page would normally still return a 200 status. Noindex only tells search bots that you do not wish the page to be indexed. Otherwise it’s still a normal page. To completely hide a page from the public, change it to draft, private, or delete the page. Any requests will then 404, though it may take a while for caching to catch up.
