Hi
By default the enfold theme provides excess and useless links to Google. For example see link one in private content.
That is not an image we use on the site anywhere. You can see a lot of people are suffering from this issue if you search “home desat-girl-m13” on Google. There are a LOT of results showing the same image on hundreds of sites.
Where is this link coming from and how do I switch it off?
Similarly lots of pages like link 2 are visible online, and also show up in Google results.
Similarly if I search “wp-content themes/enfold/framework/js/” in Google I again come up with hundreds of sites. How do we prevent this showing up, and is it necessary for the index to be publicly visible?
Regards
AmanHi amangrewal,
That is an image used in a demo so it’s very useful, you can delete the image under Media in the WordPress menu.
Best regards,
RikardDo I have to remove the image in order to get rid of the link? Or can I just get rid of the link?
Also, what should I do about the directories (link 2 in the original post)
Thanks
AmanHi,
you can use a plugin like Yoast SEO plugin, to have better control over your Google results.
Best regards,
AndyHere’s the correct answer in case anyone else is searching for the same issues:
1. If a seach engine spiders your Enfold site with the demo in place, it is going to register the links to the demo images. This will create search results such as …/home/desat-girl-m13/. At that point you will need to delete the image, as there is no way to remove the link. If, on the other hand, you have updated the images prior to spidering, then the links shouldn’t be found.
2. If index directories are showing up in the results you just need to add ” Disallow: /wp-content/themes/ ” to your robots.txt file. You’ll need to use a plugin such as Yoast SEO to create and edit your robots.txt file
