We don’t use AIO SEO, but we know that in Yoast SEO you can turn off that taxonomy’s indexing. I’d imagine you can do the same in AIO, so just check their options for taxonomies.
I just installed AIO and see where to remove the tags from their sitemap: http://take.ms/WIFpF
Hi Scott,
Is that not the function to choose what gets put on the sitemap?
What I want is the ngg_tag’s to be noindexed so they aren’t indexed by Google at all. We already have them off the sitemap at the moment but Google is still indexing them for some reason.
Thanks

Hi Kyle,
I am guessing that the ngg_tag’s wouldn’t be indexed by Google anymore ( you can test that by creating a new tag for an image ) but it may take some time until it’ll recrawl your site.
Best,
Mihai
Hi Mihai,
Why wouldn’t they be indexed?
The site was last crawled two weeks ago and it still picked them up.
Here are the settings I’m using and they’ve always been set like that:

It’s interesting – AIO doesn’t show noindex/nofollow settings for the NGG Tags taxonomy, but it does show sitemap settings for it. That’s something odd in AIO that their developers would have to look at. With Yoast SEO you have complete control over it.
Because it has been a month or more since your last reply, I am going to mark this as resolved as I assume you have found a solution. Please feel free to reply again if you still have questions.
Thanks!
