    Hello

    Thank you for your answer, but I also read this article:
    https://kriesi.at/support/topic/google-indexing-the-enfold-theme-folders/

    Could this article not solve the errors by adding this noindex to the google robot.txt?

    #277233

    Yes, try Peter’s solution first.

    User-agent: *
    Disallow: /cgi-bin
    Disallow: /wp-admin
    Disallow: /wp-includes
    Disallow: /wp-content/plugins
    Disallow: /wp-content/cache
    Disallow: /wp-content/themes
    Disallow: /*?*
    Disallow: /*?
    Allow: /wp-content/uploads

    Cheers!

    Is this copy/paste directly into google webmaster in the section google robots?

    #277253

    No, that should go in a robots.txt file located at the root of your installation.

    Cheers!

    I also have lots of unwanted pages indexed by google…
    A google search of indexed pages (site:websitename.com) returns many pages inside folder “shortcodes”

    My WordPress Address (URL) is http:website.com/blog
    My Site Address (URL) is http:website.com

    I tried the code mentioned above and also tried this:

    User-agent: *
    Disallow: /cgi-bin
    Disallow: /blog/wp-admin
    Disallow: /blog/wp-includes
    Disallow: /blog/wp-content/plugins
    Disallow: /blog/wp-content/cache
    Disallow: /blog/wp-content/themes
    Disallow: /blog/*?*
    Disallow: /blog/*?
    Allow: /blog/wp-content/uploads

    But I’m getting “allowed” for lots of enfold content from the dummy data I guess (although I did not publish it – draft only) like http://websitename.com/homepage/home-v5/ and from a “shortcodes” folder.
    pages like: http://websitename.com/shortcodes/promo-box/

    Should these disallow statements have a slash on the end of them /blog/wp-content/themes/ ?

    Plus, I guess, how do I get rid of the dummy data? I thought that not publishing it (setting it as draft only) would keep it from being indexed while I learned how to use the various options…wrong I guess ;{

    Hi!

    Those pages should only be accessible to logged users, perhaps at one point they were public and were crawled, give it a few weeks to re-index or use the Webmasters removal tool:

    Cheers!

    Hey there!

    I’ve added what you suggested above; however, Google is still indexing all of that stuff. I’ve recently added a subdomain and despite I tried to discourage it from happening, it did, so now there’s a long list of “index of” items on the results. Any more effective approach to this annoying matter, pls?

    Great thanks!

    Hi,

    Can you post the link to your website please?

    Regards,
    Josue

    #666923

    Sure,

    http://www.casadelmedia.com

    subdomain:

    hache.casadelmedia.com

    The thing that makes is suspicious is that I know the indexing is working good, cos’ I published some articles recently. By this time all those “index of” should have desappeared long ago.

    Best,

    Hey Vinay,

    Thanks for answering. I’ve sent the the URL deletion requests through the Search Console and they were apparently solved, so thanks again!

    Best,
