Hiding WordPress Posts from Search

Brian Dusablon — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 04:36:46 +0000

Jean-Baptiste Jung has a quick little post about keeping single posts or pages out of search engines.

To achieve, first get the ID of the post you’d like to be not indexed by search engines. In this example, I assume your post id is 17. Open your header.php file and paste the following code between theandtags:
ID == 17) {
    echo '';
}

You can also do this in the WordPress interface. Most themes have an SEO area for these settings on each page or post. For instance, I’m using Simplicity from WooThemes on this site. Their SEO settings area looks like this:

If I don’t want this post to show up in search engines, I can check the options for no follow and no index.

Additionally, there are a few more steps if you truly don’t want your page to be found.

Carol links to WP Hide Post and adds a reminder to check your site map (she uses Dagon Design’s plugin).

Of course, you can do all of this by manually updating the code.

Hope you found this useful!

Be sure to use the HTML tab in your editor. Then, copy the embed code from YouTube, paste, and publish. Simple is good!

Working with Captain John Spencer was a pleasure. He knew what he wanted to do in converting his site from static HTML to a content management system. We chose WordPress for its simple interface and SEO optimization. We started with Canvas by WooThemes, a nice framework to work with.

We launched the site a little over a week ago. Check it out: www.posadadelcolorado.com (or www.fishposada.com).

Push Up the Web

This post is an effort to improve the web. Push Up the Web is a great site that has a simple plugin that checks users’ browsers and recommends they upgrade.

Pushup only targets browser versions that are considered to hinder the progression of the web in it’s current state. By doing this users that are not on the latest version won’t be bothered by Pushup until they really need to upgrade.

If we all do this, it will help improve the web across the board. I will be adding it to client sites unless they have objections.
