In one click, you can exclude any post or page from search engine indexes using the standard `` tag. Every feature is built around a clean admin UI, WordPress coding standards, and zero unnecessary dependencies. ### How to Verify the Plugin Is Working There are three ways to confirm the noindex tag is active on the frontend: **Method 1 — Built-in Tag Verifier (recommended)** 1. Enable the Noindex toggle on a published post and save. 2. In the editor, click **Verify Tag in Source** in the SEO Settings meta box. 3. A green ✓ Confirmed result appears, showing the exact tag found in the live page source. **Method 2 — View Page Source** 1. Visit the published post on the frontend. 2. Right-click **View Page Source** (or press `Ctrl+U` / `Cmd+U`). 3. Press `Ctrl+F` and search for `noindex`. 4. The tag `` appears near the top of ``. **Method 3 — Google Search Console** 1. Open **URL Inspection** in Google Search Console. 2. Paste the post URL and click **Test Live URL**. 3. Under **Page Indexing**, Google reports: _“Page is not indexed — noindex tag detected”_. 4. Under **HTTP response Detected meta tags**, the robots tag is listed explicitly. **Method 4 — site: Search Operator** After Google recrawls the page (typically 24–72 hours), searching `site:yourdomain. com/post-slug` on Google returns no results, confirming the page has been de-indexed. ## Pantaila-argazkiak * [[ * Main settings page * [[ * First appearance after activation the plugin on post editor * [[ * Noindex post from quick edit option * [[ * Displaying Noindex status on post editor * [[ * Bulk actions in post list * [[ * Noindex toggle on post editing page * [[ * Tag verifier in action ## Instalazioa **From the WordPress Admin (recommended):** 1. Go to **Plugins Add New**. 2. Search for **Simple SEO Noindex Toggle**. 3. Click **Install Now**, then **Activate Plugin**. **Manual Upload:** 1. Download the `simple-seo-noindex.zip` file. 2. Go to **Plugins Add New Upload Plugin**. 3. Select the ZIP file and click **Install Now**. 4. Click **Activate Plugin**. **Manual FTP:** 1. Extract `simple-seo-noindex.zip`. 2. Upload the `simple-seo-noindex/` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`. 3. Go to **Plugins Installed Plugins** and activate. **First-Time Setup:** 1. Go to **Settings Simple SEO Noindex**. 2. Confirm **Enable Plugin**, **Enable for Posts**, and **Enable for Pages** are all checked. 3. Click **Save Settings**. 4. Open any Post or Page in the editor — the **SEO Settings** meta box appears in the right sidebar. 5. Toggle **Noindex this page** and save/publish the post. 6. Click **Verify Tag in Source** to confirm the tag is live in the page source. ## MEG ### The Tag Verifier shows “Not Found” even though the toggle is enabled. This is almost always a caching issue. The verifier sends a fresh request with a cache-busting query string and `no-cache` headers, but some caching plugins or CDNs may still serve a stale response. Purge your cache and click Verify again. You can also use Method 2 (View Page Source) to double-check directly. ### The Tag Verifier says “Could not fetch page source”. WordPress uses `wp_remote_get()` which makes an outbound HTTP request from the server back to the post URL. On some localhost or restricted hosting environments, the server cannot reach itself. Use Method 2 (View Page Source) in these cases. The verifier works correctly on standard live and staging servers. ### Does this conflict with Yoast SEO, Rank Math, or AIOSEO? It outputs a robots meta tag directly into `wp_head` at priority 1. If another SEO plugin also outputs its own robots tag on the same post, both tags will appear in` `. Search engines honour the most restrictive instruction, so having both is functionally harmless. To avoid duplication, use only one tool’s noindex feature per post. ### Does it support custom post types? Version 1.0.0 supports Posts and Pages. Custom post type support is planned for a future release. ### Does the plugin add any custom database tables? No. It uses WordPress core’s `wp_options` table for plugin settings and `wp_postmeta` for per-post noindex flags. No custom tables are created. ### What happens to my data if I delete the plugin? The `uninstall.php` routine removes all plugin settings (`ssn_settings` from `wp_options`) and all per-post noindex flags (`_ssn_noindex` from `wp_postmeta`). No orphaned data remains. The routine is multisite-aware and cleans up all subsites. ### Does this work with the Gutenberg block editor? Yes. The meta box renders correctly in the block editor sidebar panel. All features— toggle, status badge, tag preview — function identically in both the block editor and Classic Editor. ### Does the Quick Edit update noindex without a full page reload? Yes. WordPress Quick Edit submits via its own AJAX handler. The Noindex checkbox is included in that submission and processed via the standard `save_post` hook — no additional AJAX or custom endpoint required. ### Can I use this on a WordPress Multisite installation? Yes. Each subsite stores its own independent settings. The uninstall routine loops all subsites and removes all data cleanly. ### Does this plugin add any load to the frontend? No. The plugin loads no scripts or stylesheets on the frontend. The only frontend action is a single `get_post_meta()` call inside `wp_head` on singular pages — negligible performance impact. ### Will the plugin work if I have another SEO plugin installed? Yes. Simple SEO Noindex Toggle operates independently and does not interfere with other SEO plugins. ## Berrikuspenak Ez dago berrikuspenik plugin honentzat. ## Laguntzaileak eta Garatzaileak “Simple SEO Noindex Toggle” software librea da.
