Noindex admincp

hybrid · Feb 13th 2015

Somehow Google has crawled and indexed my admincp URL.

This should be noindex as default I think for security.

I would add it myself but there doesnt seem to be a template file for that page.

Thanks,

I've added a pull request for this. Meanwhile, you could get rid of this problem by setting up a robots.txt file.

Robots.txt just blocks crawling, not indexing. Google will still index and show if if they find a link to it. Which they already have.

There's no public link that Google could find, except if you've posted it on a place, where Google could find it.

Well im pretty sure i didnt, regardless if it was noindex, it wouldnt matter if I had.

You did

500 error when saving a style

That isnt a html hyper-link, it is not crawlable. Unless im missing something.

The link Google crawled and indexed is:

Code

https://www.domain.com/acp/index.php/Login/

Which differs from the non-hyper link in the other thread.

What i was trying to say is, that you posted the URL on the net. So you cannot be 100% sure, that it hasnt been linked somewhere (automatically).

However - A pull request has been created. It simply adds the noindex-Tag to the ACP index page. Alternatively, you could add the X-Robots-Tag-Header. To do so, there are two possibilities. But the best approach would be to set up a .htaccess file (when using Apache) in the acp directory with this content:

Header set X-Robots-Tag "noindex"

Noindex admincp
