Features:
– Automatically turns off search engine indexing for non-live sites.
– Provides an admin settings page to specify the live site URL.
– Displays an admin notice if indexing has been turned off due to URL mismatch.
– Encodes the live site URL to prevent inadvertent changes when using migration tools.
– Admin notice prompts for setting the live site URL if it hasn’t been configured yet.
Usage
- After activating the plugin, go to the admin dashboard.
- Navigate to
Settings->Prevent Indexing. - Enter your live site URL in the provided input field and save.
