Hello,

Recently I started a website by bbPRess. After sometime I noticed that all the single replies are indexed in google. These are the duplicates of the topic content.

I would appreciate if you provide a solution for this.

Thank you

Thank you,

For your reply.

Just to make sure, this will only noindex the single reply pages correct?

Because we would like the content of the replies to be indexed through topic pages.

Regards.

Hello,
I installed Rank Math so I can noindex my bbpress/buddypress replies. I used the setup wizard.

I don’t see the Forum Robots Meta selector on the forums page or the Replies Robots Meta selector or options on the Replies page.

How do I enable these features?

Thanks in advance!

Hey,

I am facing same concern for my web. Though I didn’t allow replies to index through robots.txt

Still wondering if content of the replies will still be indexed on main topic page or not? Here is link to my forum:
