Guys – I redone our site and was just working on putting in 301 redirects for the old sites pages to hit our new homepage rather than a 404
I noticed Google had already indexed alot of pages from our new site (done with Enfold)
However it was also picking up alot of theme files (which I’d prefer it not to)
Is there away of stopping Google doing this (without losing indexing of other pages??)
For instance its indexing folders such as: (I’ve changed the theme folder name from Enfold to reference the sites name!)
/themes/digi-v201/framework/
/wp-content/themes/digi-v201/framework/js/
/wp-content/themes/digi…/config-layerslider/
/wp-content/themes/digi-v201/framework/css/
etc etc
ranks quite a few…
Any help very appreciated!!

Create a Robots.txt file and block the wp-content folder
User-agent: *
Disallow: /wp-admin/
Disallow: /wp-content/
Disallow: /wp-includes/
Allow: /wp-content/uploads/
Something like this should do it
Hey!
I use following rules on my websites
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
Regards,
Peter
cheers guys!!!
quick other question – is it dangerous to leave it as it is??
just out of interest… when you click on any of the php files it doesn’t allow it to be loaded but stilll…..hmm
It’s not “dangerous” but it wont help your SEO efforts.
thanks greg!
