Search appearance and noindex

Free plugin Updated

Hide one page

In the editor sidebar, the Search Visibility box has two options:

  • Hide this from search engines (noindex)
  • Don’t follow links on this page (nofollow)

Leave both unchecked for normal search visibility.

Hide whole content types and archives

Go to ShadowSync SEO → Search Appearance.

  • Content Types: choose whether posts, pages and any custom types can appear in search results.
  • Taxonomies: the same for category and tag archives.
  • Archive Pages: hide author archives (useful on a single-author site) and date archives.

Snippet controls

Under Advanced Robots Directives, limit what Google may show in results: Max snippet length, Max image preview size and Max video preview length.
