Hi, I Have this Wordpress blog : http://Proxy-Proxy.net Google has indexed links such as: proxy-proxy.net/wp-content/plugins/wp-postratings/ Go and check here : http://www.google.com/#hl=en&safe=off&q=site:proxy-proxy.net&fp=baYK-57pC6c Well can anybody suggest how to avoid plugin directory or similar from getting indexed ? What chmod should I be using.. Or any other suggestion. Regards Soulz
Go through below and you can use that for your wp-content/plugin folder as well. michiknows.com/2007/02/12/who-else-wants-to-hide-their-wordpress-admin-folder/ DON.
Thank you. Well I don't want to hide or mirror it. I just don't want Google to index them.. Has anyone else had this problem ??
You can also do that using below given. just create a robots.txt in the root folder of your domain with the following content: User-agent: * Disallow: /wp-content/plugins/wp-postratings/ DON.
I was googling for some answers.. Take a look: http://codex.wordpress.org/Search_Engine_Optimization_for_Wordpress Example wordpress robots.txt file: User-agent: * Disallow: /cgi-bin Disallow: /wp-admin Disallow: /wp-includes Disallow: /wp-content/plugins Disallow: /wp-content/cache Disallow: /wp-content/themes Disallow: /trackback Disallow: /feed Disallow: /comments Disallow: /category/*/* Disallow: */trackback Disallow: */feed Disallow: */comments Disallow: /*?* Disallow: /*?
