(SOLVED) Nofollow noindex

[andros1983]

Hello, in my Prestashop how can I put the nofollow and noindex tags ONLY on the pages generated in the faceted search?
These pages contain these symbols that I attached ?q=

Hundreds of thousands of combinations are being generated in the search engines that I do not want to be tracked.

I attach an example.

What version of PrestaShop are you using? Our BotMaster module allows you to set nofollow and noindex for pages and categories. Adding parameters to it would be a great idea, but the minimum required version there is 1.7.7.

I have prestashop 8.1

[andros1983]

I only want to add nofollow no index to faceted search combinations, the ones that have this simbols  ?q= 

I have more than 100.000 pages generated on google search console with combinations of faceted searchz

Yes, I understand your issue. A module is the cleanest way to achieve it, so I'll work on extending my module to have such an option and you will decide what solution to choose

[andros1983]

Thank you, please let me know when this is implemented and I will buy it.
But please let me know if it only affects those types of pages, the rest like home, products, categories, cms, blogs etc. Im leave it untouched.
Please let me know

[Daresh]

Yes, you have full control over what is affected and what remains untouched.

[andros1983]

Ok thanks a lot let me know when it's ready

[Daresh]

Allright, it is ready now

You can see it here on the demo store:

A normal category: https://greenmou.se/demo178/6-accessories

A category with a filter: https://greenmou.se/demo178/6-accessories?q=Composition-Ceramic

BotMaster module

[andros1983]

Normal category says not indexable. Please check before i buy. 

[Daresh]

Yes we have a general server-side setting for the greenmou.se domain to noindex and nofollow so our "work in progress" and demo stores are not indexed.

I disabled it now so you can check it out, but I need to re-enable it soon 🙂

[andros1983]

Ok I'm going to buy it soon, so if I only want to block the faceted search filters would I have to leave everything unchecked and put this that I attached in the photo?

[Daresh]

Yes, exactly. Just put the "q" value in both these fields and you should have the desired effect.

Hi, I just bought the module, I sent you a message through support. We'll talk there, thanks.

Hi.

Does anyone know how to add noindex without adding modules?

I tried adding the code to my htaccess but it doesn't work:

 

SetEnvIf Request_URI "(.*)home-1(.*)" is_private=1
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
  Header add X-Robots-Tag "noindex,nofollow" env=is_private
</IfModule>

Hello you can use my noIndex module to do that :

[Olena123]

Hello.

So I added my code to head.tpl and it works!

Hi @Olena123,

I've got the same issue and I'm curious to know if your solution worked to affect Google Search Console's statistics (particularly on the Not indexed number) ?

Hi,

Yes, it's possible to achieve this by modifying the TPL files. You'll need to check and edit the head.tpl file accordingly.

Let me know if you need help locating the correct file or applying the changes.
