Hello,

When users on my website register for an account, we ask them to upload a pdf of their resumes. However, I am now seeing that Google is indexing and displaying these resumes on Google. How can I prevent ultimate member uploads on the registration and user profile pages from being indexed from Google and remove the existing indexes? It looks like they are being stored on /wp-content/uploads/ultimatemember

Hi @tucccerini

You can also try adding a robot.txt to your root folder and then add this line in the file: Noindex: /wp-content/
