    Hello,

    On our website we do not have pagination enabled. However a lot of pages are automatically created. We have 100K+ noindex pages because of this.
    How can we eliminate those pages?

    Hey menainfosec,
    Thanks for the link to your site when I look at your /blog/ page I see a blog element with a pagination at the bottom, this matches your links above, but this is from a plugin and not the theme, so you will need to look in the plugin options to find where to disable the pagination.
    If you can’t find the setting you can hide it with this css:

    .wpspw_pagination {
    	display: none;
    }

    There is not a way to “delete” these pagination pages because they are showed by the WordPress query, you could try using a redirect plugin and and redirect any page the includes /page/* to a different page that you choose

    Best regards,
    Mike

    Hi Mike,
    Thanks for the reply. Can you specify where you found the pagination element?
    Do you know which plugin causes this?
    I am not sure redirection is the best option.

    Hi,
    I linked to your /blog/ page above and again below. I don’t know the name of the plugin but the element has the wpspw prefix.
    Since they are noindex pages you can ignore them, you can also add them to your robots.txt so the won’t be crawled like this:

    User-agent: *
    Disallow: /page
    Disallow: /ru/page
    Disallow: /it/page
    Disallow: /nl/page
    Allow: /wp-content/uploads

    some other disallows that some find helpful like wp-includes, wp-admin, and the search strings “?”:

    Disallow: /cgi-bin
    Disallow: /wp-admin
    Disallow: /wp-includes
    Disallow: /wp-content/plugins
    Disallow: /wp-content/cache
    Disallow: /wp-content/themes
    Disallow: /*?*
    Disallow: /*?

    Best regards,
    Mike

    Thanks fo the help.
    Looks like it is from “Blog Designer” plugin. I will try to reactive it and see if it works.

    Hi,
    Glad to hear that you found the plugin, since this is not related to the theme shall we close this thread then?

    Best regards,
    Mike
