    Is there a way to block SSL / https site using this plugin? What would I put in the robots.txt file to stop the search engines from seeing the https site?

    Thank you

    You can do this with .htaccess.

    Basically, you have a separate robots.txt for https, and with mod_rewrite in .htacess, you do something like:

    RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteRule ^/robots.txt$ robots.ssl.txt [P]

    This will basically point any HTTPS queries for robots.txt to the robots.ssl.txt, in which you can put:

    User-agent: *
Disallow: /

    That’ll prevent indexing on HTTPS.
