    Yo Hi,

    Is there a way to install a plugin where the buddypress member can enable/disable to opt out of being indexed from Search Engines ?

    I saw that on the dashboard I can select this option for each member, but I think the best will be if the member can do it himself?

    Thanks for your information.

    Regards,
    Daniel

    Hi Daniel,
    Are you using a custom plugin that allows you to index/no index profile.

    BuddyPress doe not have this functionality.

    Still, It is easy to do that.
    All you need to do is add a meta tag like this

    
<meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow">

    I don’t see any existing plugin giving an option to the user though.

    Hi Brajesh,

    Thanks for your reply.

    In Dashboard, when I go to Menu User and I click on a username from the list, I can disable/enable the users archive from indexing from Search Engines by tick/untick this field below.

    *Do not allow search engines to show this author’s archives in search results.*

    I think it is from Yoast SEO Plugin.

    As you know I am PHP beginner 🙂 what do you mean with adding the meta tag ? Do I need to implement the code inside a php file and then create a tab with the BP Profile Tabs Plugin in order that it appears on the users profiles ?

    Thank you.

    Regards,
    Daniel

    Hi Ravi,

    Thanks for the very nice looking code.

    Just one question: do I need to create a new php file called no-follow-no-index.php

    and put the code inside? If yes, might could you state please in which folder I need to place then this no-follow-no-index.php file ?

    or do I need to simply add the code to the bp-custom.php file ?

    Thank you for clarification.

    Regards,
    Daniel

    Hi Ravi,

    Ahh, I see now, did you create a new plugin and I can download the ZIP file from the Githup page that you have provided.

    Does this means that I just need to upload the zip file to wordpress the same way when I upload any other plugin and then I click activate in order that it activates the plugin ?

    Thank you for clarification.

    Kind regards,
    Daniel

    Hello Daniel,

    No, There is no need to create a new file. Just place the code in “bp-custom.php” file. It will work.

    Thanks

    Hi Ravi,

    Thank you for clarifying.

    I have added the code as per your instruction and it looks like that it works.

    Thank you so much, that’s very cool!

    Only some little adjustments:

    1. I would like to add a text above of the two tick boxes saying:

    *Enable or Disable your Profile to get indexed from Search Engines*.

    2. The Text “No Index” “No Follow” next to the tick boxes are too close, how can I make a space in between ?

    3. The Tab is called “Search engines” and I would like that it looks like the other tabs “Search Engines” (Engines also in Capital Letter)

    Would it be possible to just help me how I can modify the three mentioned details ?

    Thank you.

    Regards,
    Daniel
