Hey Andy – apologies – login fixed.
I’ve reached out to Yoast for a view on seo approach as current advice is to let the bots in but surely it cannot be beneficial to be indexing a ton of framework files and presenting them in search results. I note that googling one of the Enfold files that have been indexed on my site yields 65k results suggesting that, whether they know it or not, this effects a lot of people using this theme.
Still unsure of how to deal with it though and frankly a bit uncomfortable implementing “I have never actually used it before but I think” solutions for this as could have serious impact on serps.
Hi – as I have a pretty complex .htaccess file (I use Wordfence and have a few seo redirects) could you please clarify what this will do?
I’m guessing this prevents the folders without an index file from displaying their contents – in that case how about php files that are getting indexed (/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php for example)?
Many thanks.
