No bloated SEO plugin needed \u2014 just clean, focused noindex management.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Features:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Bulk noindex by content type<\/strong> \u2014 Set entire post types (pages, posts, products, etc.) as noindex with a single checkbox.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Smart exclusions<\/strong> \u2014 When a content type is set to noindex, exclude specific posts that should remain indexed (e.g., noindex all pages except homepage and shop).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Individual noindex<\/strong> \u2014 Set noindex on specific posts without affecting the entire content type (e.g., set only cookies, cart, and checkout pages as noindex).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Instant search<\/strong> \u2014 Find content quickly with a live search field in the settings page.

Just a meta tag when needed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><strong>How it works:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>NoIndexer adds a <code>&lt;meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow\"&gt;<\/code> tag to the <code>&lt;head&gt;<\/code> of posts set as noindex. This tells search engines not to index the page while still following its links.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Priority logic:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ol>\n<li>Individual noindex always applies.<\/li>\n<li>Post type bulk noindex applies unless the post is specifically excluded.<\/li>\n<li>Exclusions override the bulk setting for specific posts.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<p><strong>Do you really need a full SEO plugin?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>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 \u2014 the two core pieces search engines need to crawl your site properly.<\/p>\n\n<p>NoIndexer handles the noindex side: decide which content should stay out of search results. For sitemap control, <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/native-sitemap-customizer\/\">Native Sitemap Customizer<\/a> lets you exclude post types, taxonomies, and specific posts from the native WordPress sitemap. Together with the robots.txt that WordPress generates automatically, you have everything essential for technical SEO \u2014 no bloat, no unused features, no performance overhead.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Third-party integration:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Developers can check if a post is set as noindex by NoIndexer using:<\/p>\n\n<pre><code>Noindexer_Frontend::is_noindex( $post_id ) \u2014 returns `true` if the post should not be indexed, taking into account individual meta, bulk post type rules, and exclusions.\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n<h3>Support<\/h3>\n\n<p>Need help or have suggestions?<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/servicios.ayudawp.com\">Official website<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/plugin\/noindexer\/\">WordPress support forum<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/AyudaWordPressES\">YouTube channel<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ayudawp.com\">Documentation and tutorials<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Love the plugin?

The page is still accessible to visitors, but it won't appear in search results.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"does%20this%20plugin%20remove%20content%20from%20my%20sitemap%3F\"><h3>Does this plugin remove content from my sitemap?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>NoIndexer focuses only on the noindex meta tag. For sitemap management, we recommend using <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/native-sitemap-customizer\/\">Native Sitemap Customizer<\/a>, which lets you exclude content from the native WordPress sitemap.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"will%20this%20conflict%20with%20my%20seo%20plugin%3F\"><h3>Will this conflict with my SEO plugin?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>NoIndexer uses the standard WordPress <code>wp_robots<\/code> 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.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"can%20i%20set%20noindex%20from%20the%20editor%3F\"><h3>Can I set noindex from the editor?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>Yes.

Deleting the plugin removes all settings and post meta data from the database.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"does%20this%20work%20with%20custom%20post%20types%3F\"><h3>Does this work with custom post types?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>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.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"how%20can%20other%20plugins%20detect%20noindexer%3F\"><h3>How can other plugins detect NoIndexer?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>Developers can use the static method <code>Noindexer_Frontend::is_noindex( $post_id )<\/code> which returns <code>true<\/code> if the post is set as noindex.
