विवरण

NoIndexer gives you full control over the noindex and nofollow robots directives, telling search engines not to include certain content in their results and not to follow its links. No bloated SEO plugin needed — just clean, focused noindex and nofollow management.

Features:

  • Bulk noindex / nofollow by content type — Set entire post types (pages, posts, products, etc.) as noindex, nofollow or both with a single checkbox per directive.
  • Bulk noindex / nofollow by taxonomy — Set entire taxonomy archives (categories, tags, product attributes, etc.) as noindex, nofollow or both. Works with all public taxonomies, including WooCommerce product categories, tags, and attributes (requires “Enable Archives?” in WooCommerce attribute settings).
  • Smart exclusions — When a content type or taxonomy is set to noindex or nofollow, exclude specific posts or terms that should keep the default behavior. Exclusions work independently per directive.
  • Individual noindex / nofollow — Set noindex or nofollow on specific posts or taxonomy terms without affecting the entire content type or taxonomy.
  • Instant search — Find content and terms quickly with a live search field in the settings page. Click to add, click to remove.
  • Editor integration — noindex and nofollow checkboxes available in both the Classic Editor and Block Editor sidebar.
  • Link-level nofollow — A nofollow checkbox in the Classic Editor link popup lets you mark individual links with rel="nofollow" without leaving the editor. The Block Editor already exposes a native nofollow toggle in its link popover.
  • Quick Edit — Toggle noindex and nofollow directly from the post list table without opening the editor.
  • Bulk actions — Set or remove noindex and nofollow on multiple posts at once from the post list.
  • Robots column — Two color-coded icons in your content lists show the current index/follow state at a glance.
  • Search results noindex / nofollow — Prevent internal search result pages from being indexed and/or having their links followed.
  • 404 pages noindex / nofollow — Keep 404 error pages out of search indexes and stop crawlers from following dead-end links.
  • Date archives noindex / nofollow — Apply either or both directives to daily, monthly, and yearly archive pages.
  • Paginated archives noindex / nofollow — Apply either or both directives to /page/2/, /page/3/ and beyond for all archives.
  • Attachment pages noindex / nofollow — Apply either or both directives to media attachment pages created by WordPress.
  • Author archives noindex / nofollow — Apply either or both directives to author archive pages.
  • RSS feeds noindex / nofollow — Granular control to noindex and/or nofollow RSS feeds by type: main feed, taxonomy feeds, author feeds, site comments feed, and per-post comments feeds. Works via the X-Robots-Tag HTTP header since feeds are XML, not HTML.
  • Native sitemap integration — Automatically excludes noindexed content from the native WordPress sitemap. Posts, post types, taxonomy terms, and taxonomy archives marked as noindex are removed from the sitemap without needing any additional plugin.
  • Lightweight — No unnecessary features, no frontend scripts, no database tables. Just a meta tag when needed.

How it works:

NoIndexer adds a <meta name="robots"> tag to the <head> of posts and taxonomy archives that should not be indexed and/or followed. The directive content is composed dynamically based on the configured rules — you can end up with noindex, follow, index, nofollow, noindex, nofollow or no tag at all.

Priority logic for posts (applies independently to noindex and nofollow):

  1. Individual directive always applies.
  2. Post type bulk directive applies unless the post is specifically excluded.
  3. Exclusions override the bulk setting for specific posts.

Priority logic for taxonomy archives (applies independently to noindex and nofollow):

  1. Individual term directive always applies.
  2. Taxonomy bulk directive applies unless the term is specifically excluded.
  3. Exclusions override the bulk setting for specific terms.

Do you really need a full SEO plugin?

Most WordPress sites don’t need a 100-feature SEO plugin just to manage noindex rules or customize a sitemap. WordPress already generates a native sitemap and a robots.txt file — the two core pieces search engines need to crawl your site properly.

NoIndexer handles the noindex side: decide which content should stay out of search results. It also automatically excludes noindexed content from the native WordPress sitemap, so search engines won’t find it there either. If you need additional sitemap customization beyond noindex — like excluding specific content that is indexed but shouldn’t appear in the sitemap — Native Sitemap Customizer is the perfect companion. Together with the robots.txt that WordPress generates automatically, you have everything essential for technical SEO — no bloat, no unused features, no performance overhead.

Third-party integration:

Developers can check noindex and nofollow status using:

  • Noindexer_Frontend::is_noindex( $post_id ) — returns true if a post should not be indexed.
  • Noindexer_Frontend::is_nofollow( $post_id ) — returns true if a post should have its links nofollowed.
  • Noindexer_Frontend::is_term_noindex( $term_id, $taxonomy ) — returns true if a taxonomy term archive should not be indexed.
  • Noindexer_Frontend::is_term_nofollow( $term_id, $taxonomy ) — returns true if a taxonomy term archive should have its links nofollowed.

All methods resolve the full priority logic (individual meta, bulk rules, and exclusions).

प्रश्नोत्तर

What does noindex do?

A noindex directive tells search engines like Google not to include a page in their search results. The page is still accessible to visitors, but it won’t appear in search results.

Does this plugin remove content from my sitemap?

Yes. Since version 1.3.0, NoIndexer automatically excludes noindexed content from the native WordPress sitemap. Posts, post types, taxonomy terms, and taxonomy archives marked as noindex are removed from the sitemap. This works only with the native WordPress sitemap — third-party sitemaps from SEO plugins like Yoast or Rank Math are not affected, as those plugins manage their own sitemaps independently. For additional sitemap customization, you can also use Native Sitemap Customizer.

Will this conflict with my SEO plugin?

NoIndexer uses the standard WordPress wp_robots filter. If another plugin or theme also sets robots directives, the noindex directive from NoIndexer will be combined with them. If you only need noindex control and nothing else from your SEO plugin, NoIndexer is a lightweight alternative.

Can I set noindex or nofollow from the editor?

Yes. Both the Classic Editor and the Block Editor (Gutenberg) include NoIndex and NoFollow checkboxes in the sidebar. You can also use Quick Edit or bulk actions from the post list.

Can I mark individual links with rel=”nofollow”?

Yes. Since version 1.5.0, NoIndexer adds a nofollow checkbox to the link insertion popup of the Classic Editor. It reads the existing rel value and adds or removes the nofollow token without touching anything else (other tokens like noreferrer or sponsored are preserved). The Block Editor already includes a native nofollow toggle in its link popover, so no extra integration is needed there.

Can I noindex RSS feeds?

Yes. Since version 1.4.0, NoIndexer includes a dedicated section to noindex (and now also nofollow) WordPress RSS feeds by type: main feed, taxonomy feeds, author feeds, site comments feed, and per-post comments feeds. Each type has its own independent toggle for each directive. Feeds are XML, so NoIndexer uses the X-Robots-Tag HTTP header instead of the meta robots tag. These rules work independently from your content settings.

What happens when I deactivate or delete the plugin?

Deactivating the plugin stops the noindex meta tags from being output, but your settings are preserved. Deleting the plugin removes all settings, post meta, and term meta data from the database.

Does this work with custom post types?

Yes. NoIndexer automatically detects all public post types registered on your site, including those from plugins like WooCommerce (products), bbPress (forums), or any custom post type.

Does this work with custom taxonomies?

Yes. NoIndexer automatically detects all public taxonomies, including WooCommerce product categories, product tags, and any custom taxonomy registered by other plugins.

Why don’t I see WooCommerce product attributes in the taxonomy list?

WooCommerce product attributes (color, size, etc.) only appear in NoIndexer when they have archives enabled. Go to WooCommerce > Attributes, edit the attribute, and check “Enable Archives?”. Without this option, WooCommerce does not create public archive pages for the attribute, so there is no URL to noindex.

Can I noindex specific categories or tags?

Yes. You can either set an entire taxonomy as noindex (e.g., all tags) and then exclude specific terms, or set individual terms as noindex without affecting the rest of the taxonomy.

How can other plugins detect NoIndexer?

Developers can use Noindexer_Frontend::is_noindex( $post_id ) and Noindexer_Frontend::is_nofollow( $post_id ) for posts, plus Noindexer_Frontend::is_term_noindex( $term_id, $taxonomy ) and Noindexer_Frontend::is_term_nofollow( $term_id, $taxonomy ) for taxonomy terms. All methods resolve the full priority logic.

1.6.0

  • New: renamed to Native SEO NoIndexer as part of the Native SEO Suite (with Native SEO Meta Tags and Native SEO Sitemap Customizer). Same plugin, same settings, same WordPress.org slug — only the display name changes. The Block and Classic editor panels still read “NoIndexer” to keep the editor UI compact.
  • New: shared Native SEO Core library bundled with the plugin. Adds a cross-promo banner with other AyudaWP plugins and a “Native SEO Suite detected” card on the settings page when another family plugin is active, with quick links between them.
  • Improved: unified visual identity across the Native SEO Suite — settings menu label shortened to <> NoIndexer, settings page icon set to dashicons-embed-generic, plus shared CSS tokens (brand colors, accent backgrounds) bundled in the core library.
  • Improved: cross-promo banner now automatically excludes other Native SEO Suite plugins from rotation when they are already active, so you only see recommendations for things you do not already have installed.
