thanks Sam – are their any downsides from allowing crawling of plugin content. For example security concerns?
(fyi i think this entry is a hangover from when I had a managed WP site through GoDaddy)
Can I use my robot.txt file to stop crawling of the https versions of my pages and thus stopping Google from assuming I have duplicate content?
If I can use this method it means I don’t have to 301 redirect and change all my internal links.
Is SSL really needed on what is essentially my simple blog site, am I making my life more difficult for marginal SEO gains.
Would I just be best removing the certificate?
Solved, this was an issue with how my theme was coded. I contacted the developer and he informed me I could not set a static page like this.
And had to insert my blogs via shortcodes.
Issue is fixed, backed up my WP site via FTP. Deleted the old installation and started again.
It worked on the 3rd attempt.
