Problem with robots noindex, nofollow

Hello forum,

I have now already tried everything to fix the problem. My page is generally set to "index follow". Also in the menu setting I have additionally set "robots" to "index follow". Also in the JEvents settings, I think I have configured everything correctly.

Nevertheless, I get the information "noindex nofollow" when calling the set:

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow" />

Can someone help me? Have I overlooked something?

Sorry if I wrote here in the wrong forum, I have of course the version 3.6.39


Thanks a lot
Tommy
Sorry,

I fixed it, it was the setting "SEF", the meta tag to prevent robots was set to "allow indexing of event detail lists by robots".

I have now set this meta tag to "No".

Now it works.

Hello Team,

i have to open this topic again. i still get the error "noindex".

It is still showing in my google account. What can I do to fix the problem?

Is there anything in the settings that I'm missing?

Thanks Tommy

I have exactly the same problem. I believe I have tried everything to get Google to index JEvents but nothing works. Maybe it is because we have the free version?

Anyway, if anyone has suggestions as to how to fix this it would be very much appreciated.

Hello iambristol,

thanks for your information. unfortunately I have not been able to solve this problem to date.

If it is indeed due to the free version, I would be pleased if the JEvents team could confirm this.

Best regards

I’ve been working on this for so long. I made some more changes to the configuration today and for the first time the source code from the front end showed ‘index’ and ‘follow’ so I’m a small step forward and I’ll wait 24 hours before running the url through Google again. If I can find the answer I’ll put it in this forum.

Tommy, I don't understand much of what goes on in the background of Joomla even though I have been using it for many years.

However, yesterday I changed some more settings in the SEF tab and I have attached the result with this. You'll also see from the second attachment that for the first time Google has shown the calendar as indexed.

I hope this helps.

Hello iambristol,

Thank you for sending the pictures and the explanation. I'll post them tomorrow and let you know if it worked.

I have also been working with Joomla for many years and I don't always know what is working in the background,

Thank you and best regards
Tommy

I have also adopted your settings for me. Unfortunately, nothing has changed as of today.
According to Google, JEvents is still blocked by "robots".

Although JEvents is set to "index, follow".

I no longer know what else to set.

Hello Tommy,

Looks like we're both complete novices compared to others on this forum!

Have you added the calendar to your robots.txt file? I did, but I'm not sure I did it in the correct format - but it seems to work! Have a look here.

Other than that, I'm afraid I've exhausted my miniscule knowledge.

I wish you all the best.
