Hi Team,
I noticed the templates that make up the theme are all published, such as this page:
https://rareparenting.com/tdb_templates/author-template/
How can I hide these so they are not visible and not indexed?
Thanks!
Megan
Hi,
The cloud templates are custom post types, and these can be an index or not, therefore you can use Yoast SEO to control the SEO for cloud templates, for example https://i.imgur.com/6BRLmIs.png after that you need to reindex your website on Google (or you can reindex only that link).
Thank you!
Hi Anamarie, we use SEO Framework and are able to noindex, but, the page still exists on the website, publicly. The problem here is also that the page “https://rareparenting.com/author” redirects to this template (https://rareparenting.com/tdb_templates/author-template/).
As such, is it possible to not have the template live, or is that necessary for it to function on the other pages?
And, secondly, why is the /author page redirecting to the template, and how can I change that?
Thanks!
Megan
Hi,
This is how it works; you can set a redirect for that link. Normally, there is the name of the author, not the word author https://i.imgur.com/luqzFk9.jpg

Hi Anamaria,
Thanks, yes, I know the individual author pages are come after the “author” slug, the problem is that this page “https://rareparenting.com/author/” redirects to the template page “https://rareparenting.com/tdb_templates/author-template/”. Creating a redirect for a redirect doesn’t seem to make sense. I’m asking how to remove the current redirect. To that end, where do I find the https://rareparenting.com/author/ page in order to remove the redirect to the template?
Hello,
Please check this guide https://make.wordpress.org/core/2020/06/26/wordpress-5-5-better-fine-grained-control-of-redirect_guess_404_permalink/ set the function in child theme.
Thank you!
