Refer to this article:

JosueJune 10, 2014 at 10:34 pm #277230Hello
Thank you for your answer, but I also read this article:
https://kriesi.at/support/topic/google-indexing-the-enfold-theme-folders/Could this article not solve the errors by adding this noindex to the google robot.txt?
June 10, 2014 at 10:39 pm #277233Yes, try Peter’s solution first.
User-agent: * Disallow: /cgi-bin Disallow: /wp-admin Disallow: /wp-includes Disallow: /wp-content/plugins Disallow: /wp-content/cache Disallow: /wp-content/themes Disallow: /*?* Disallow: /*? Allow: /wp-content/uploads
Cheers!
JosueJune 10, 2014 at 10:55 pm #277245Is this copy/paste directly into google webmaster in the section google robots?
June 10, 2014 at 11:01 pm #277253No, that should go in a robots.txt file located at the root of your installation.
Cheers!
JosueSeptember 10, 2014 at 9:29 pm #316921I also have lots of unwanted pages indexed by google…
A google search of indexed pages (site:websitename.com) returns many pages inside folder “shortcodes”My WordPress Address (URL) is http:website.com/blog
My Site Address (URL) is http:website.comI tried the code mentioned above and also tried this:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /cgi-bin
Disallow: /blog/wp-admin
Disallow: /blog/wp-includes
Disallow: /blog/wp-content/plugins
Disallow: /blog/wp-content/cache
Disallow: /blog/wp-content/themes
Disallow: /blog/*?*
Disallow: /blog/*?
Allow: /blog/wp-content/uploadsBut I’m getting “allowed” for lots of enfold content from the dummy data I guess (although I did not publish it – draft only) like http://websitename.com/homepage/home-v5/ and from a “shortcodes” folder.
pages like: http://websitename.com/shortcodes/promo-box/Should these disallow statements have a slash on the end of them /blog/wp-content/themes/ ?
Plus, I guess, how do I get rid of the dummy data? I thought that not publishing it (setting it as draft only) would keep it from being indexed while I learned how to use the various options…wrong I guess ;{
September 10, 2014 at 10:02 pm #316947Hi!
Those pages should only be accessible to logged users, perhaps at one point they were public and were crawled, give it a few weeks to re-index or use the Webmasters removal tool:

JosueJuly 30, 2016 at 6:39 am #666780Hey there!
I’ve added what you suggested above; however, Google is still indexing all of that stuff. I’ve recently added a subdomain and despite I tried to discourage it from happening, it did, so now there’s a long list of “index of” items on the results. Any more effective approach to this annoying matter, pls?
Great thanks!

Can you post the link to your website please?
Regards,
JosueJuly 31, 2016 at 3:15 am #666923Sure,
subdomain:
hache.casadelmedia.com
The thing that makes is suspicious is that I know the indexing is working good, cos’ I published some articles recently. By this time all those “index of” should have desappeared long ago.
Best,

Thanks for answering. I’ve sent the the URL deletion requests through the Search Console and they were apparently solved, so thanks again!
Best,
