    Hi all -
    I am using the Ultimate noindex, nofollow plugin. I have set it to noindex, nofollow many of my pages - 'directions', 'about me', etc. It is working for most.
    But I have a page which has a PDF file for people to download and have it set the the same way (all the page numbers in the plugin settings).
    It is URL....wp-content/uploads....pdf. the PDF is what is indexed and if you click on it you get the file. I don't want this happening and I don't even want this page indexed. Seems like it's almost just the file that is somehow getting indexed. Any thoughts on how to stop it??

    Use your robots.txt instead to block pdfs from being indexed.
