    Using robots.txt is probably the simplest way to accomplish this (assuming you’re using pretty permalinks).

    User-agent: *
Disallow: /testimonial/

    If it helps, the plugin also has a filter for excluding testimonials from a front-end search on your site. Add this to your theme’s functions.php:
    add_filter( 'wpmtst_exclude_from_search', '__return_true' );

    Also, some SEO plugins may have settings to add noindex, nofollow meta tags for specific post types.

    Thanks for your reply Chris, I think I’ll implement the robot.txt option.
