Thank you for the response and the code you provided is working to some extent but I guess this is not what I want
See it’s only setting the post to noindex on frontend but if I open the backend of the post and go to advance tab I see the ‘index’ checkbox is checked
IDK if I should be concerned about this or not, but it will be hard for me to check from the back if the post if marked as noindex or not
Also, I’m bit concerned about the search engine crawlers, like if I use the provided code will they skip indexing the slideshow posts or will they index these posts? because I dont want search engines to crawl these posts with term slideshow
ThanksHi @rankmathsupport , thanks for the reply
I do know about the setting you mentioned but it will not work in my case because it will set meta tag on each and every post
but the thing is I have a custom taxonomy ‘feed_type’ in my website and this custom taxonomy have a term ‘slideshow’ I only want to noindex the posts where the taxonomy is feed_type and term is slideshow, that’s why I was using this code
function ayl_noindex_msn_post( $post_id ) {
if( has_term( 'slideshow', 'feed_type', $post_id ) ) {
$arr = ['noindex', 'nofollow', 'noarchive', 'noimageindex', 'nosnippet'];
update_post_meta( $post_id, 'rank_math_robots', serialize( $arr ) );
}
}
add_action( 'save_post', 'ayl_noindex_msn_post' );to noindex the post on save only if the post have taxonomy of feed_type and term of slideshow
Hope it make more sense to you
Please let me know how can noindex the posts specifically of taxonomy feed_type
Thanks

Hi @cornelraiu-1 ,
Thanks for a detailed comment
- I already tried by removing that previous code from functions.php but issue still there
- Already tried to remove all data using Erase all data option in settings also I tried to uninstall the plugin then deleted the plugins tables from db and then reinstalled but issue still there. also i tried to remove entries from db then switch to troubleshoot mode then tried and issue still there.
- ummm not sure about this cause no user going to search for that string and if a user is new to website for sure he will not be aware of the pages of website and theres no way he can search for that string with exact pages and vehicle names in it. if a user is already familiar with website why he would search for something like this with exact same pattern always.
- I dont think the searches are made by the users cause when i removeed entries and tried to search then after maybe like third search 2 extra auto generated searches were added.
- yes I do have country option enabled but the plugin is not showing country.
- no ajax calls running with s=
- I did added custom search params like this.
but as you mentioned that you are using regex and having trailing comma might break it then how should i place it in this field
BTW i do have a code which i am using to check for user search terms and redirect them to their exact searched page heres the code
// check the searched term function search_listings_meta() { if (isset($_GET['s']) && !empty($_GET['s'])) { $term = sanitize_text_field($_GET['s']); $meta_query = array( 'relation' => 'OR', array( 'key' => 'stock-number', 'value' => $term, 'compare' => '=' ), array( 'key' => 'make', 'value' => $term, 'compare' => '=' ), array( 'key' => 'model', 'value' => $term, 'compare' => '=' ), array( 'key' => 'vin-number', 'value' => $term, 'compare' => '=' ), array( 'key' => 'postName', 'value' => $term, 'compare' => 'LIKE' ), ); $args = array( 'post_type' => 'listings', 'meta_query' => $meta_query, ); $query = new WP_Query($args); if ($query->have_posts()) { $url = add_query_arg(array('search%5b%5d' => $term), home_url('/inventory')); wp_redirect($url); exit; } // compare search with pages $page = get_page_by_title($term); if ($page) { wp_redirect(get_permalink($page->ID)); exit; } } } add_action('template_redirect', 'search_listings_meta');maybe its possible that bots are performing these searches but why only on the production site not on the stage site. and why does only when I perform like 3 or 4 searches then it keeps add the auto-generated strings?
before the production site domain name was value******.com but now we changed it to durango**********.c* and we are facing this issue after changing the domain name before the plugin was working well even on the production site previous domain name.
DK why this happening only on production site and only after changing the domain name.
