These are the robots.txt lines I added:
Disallow: /*?wpmp_switcher=desktop
Disallow: /*?wpmp_switcher=mobileStill trying to figure out how to stop my site from creating these pages every time I make a new post. Completely uninstalling and reinstalling WP Super Cache seemed to clear some relevant junk out of my .htaccess file, but the wpmp_switcher=desktop/mobile pages are still being created. I’m now exploring whether there’s anything in my SQL database that may be creating these pages.
I removed this plugin three weeks ago, and it’s still creating “?wpmp_switcher=desktop” and “?wpmp_switcher=mobile” versions of every page on my site. Nobody has any suggestions for how to make it stop? Are the people behind this plugin reachable?
The good news is I was able to use robots.txt to stop Google from crawling the ?wpmp_switcher=desktop/?wpmp_switcher=mobile pages, but that doesn’t change the fact that I have thousands of these unremovable pages taking up space.
I feel like I’m just talking to my self here, but I’ll try one more question before giving up. Two weeks after I removed this plugin, the crawl errors in my Webmaster Tools are still growing, and many of the pages created by the Mobile Pack–all ending in “?wpmp_switcher=desktop”–are still showing up in search results (and perhaps creating duplicate content?). Anyone have any suggestions for how to remove all these useless “?wpmp_switcher=desktop” pages now that I’ve gotten rid of the plugin?
Ugh, and I just found out that the “?wpmp_switcher=desktop” copies are even being created for new posts that I’ve made long after the plugin has been gone. How do i stop it? Anyone? I’m getting pretty desperate here.
Update: As I feared, the number of crawl errors kept growing in subsequent days. What a disaster. Since no one answered, I’ll just get rid of the plugin and find a better one.
If anyone reading this is on the fence about installing the Windows Mobile Pack plugin, don’t do it. It gave my site hundreds of crawl errors.
