I’m trying to clean up my site to improve SEO and am using the Yoast plugin. It has output a xml template for my template directly and identified about 15 templates. Obviously there is no point in Google Search making these available. If I could find them I would turn them all private but I can’t find them. Where are they located and how do I access them, or in some way hide them from Google? https://imgur.com/a/kt8PnqP

hide the folder through an entry in your .htaccess file?

Thanks, I will use that if I can’t find them. But first part of question was still “Where are they located and how do I access them?” I assume they must be somewhere.

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).
You can see the cloud templates here https://i.imgur.com/uaqTmLk.png

Thank you!
