=== Native SEO NoIndexer === Contributors: fernandot, ayudawp Tags: noindex, nofollow, seo, robots, search engines Requires at least: 6.0 Tested up to: 7.0 Requires PHP: 7.4 Stable tag: 1.6.1 License: GPLv2 or later License URI: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html Now part of Native AEO Pack — noindex and nofollow robots control is bundled there. == Description == **This plugin is now part of [Native AEO Pack](https://wordpress.org/plugins/native-aeo-pack/).** Everything this plugin does is bundled into Native AEO Pack, a single lightweight plugin that unifies the three AyudaWP "Native SEO" plugins (Meta Tags, NoIndexer and Sitemap Customizer) into one, built entirely on WordPress native features. This plugin still works and stays available, but new features and fixes now go into Native AEO Pack. If you're setting up a new site, install Native AEO Pack instead of this one. = Moving to Native AEO Pack = 1. Install and activate **Native AEO Pack**. 2. Open its settings, enable the modules you need (Meta Tags, NoIndex, Sitemap) and set your site-wide options. 3. Deactivate this plugin. Native AEO Pack reminds you while both are active, because running both at once prints duplicate tags. 4. Check your page source: you should see a single set of tags, from Native AEO Pack. Your settings are not imported automatically in this first version. Site-wide options take a minute to re-enter. For per-post values (individual noindex/nofollow, custom titles and descriptions, Open Graph images), deactivate this plugin rather than deleting it, so the data stays in place for the automatic importer planned for a future Native AEO Pack release. == Installation == 1. Upload the `noindexer` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`. 2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress. 3. Go to Settings > NoIndexer to configure your noindex rules. Or install directly from the WordPress plugin directory by searching for "NoIndexer". == Frequently Asked Questions == = Should I install Native AEO Pack before or after removing this plugin? = Install and activate Native AEO Pack first, configure it, and only then deactivate this plugin. That way your site is never left without meta tags or sitemap output. A short overlap with both active is fine; just don't leave both on long-term. = Will my settings move over automatically? = Not in this first version. Site-wide settings are quick to re-enter on Native AEO Pack's settings page. Per-post and per-term values are stored under this plugin's own meta keys, which Native AEO Pack does not read yet. An importer that moves them across automatically is planned for a later release. = Can I run both plugins at the same time? = Only briefly, while you set up Native AEO Pack. With both active you emit duplicate tags (or duplicate sitemaps), which hurts SEO, so deactivate this plugin once Native AEO Pack is configured. Native AEO Pack detects this plugin and reminds you on its settings screen. = I have a lot of per-post noindex settings. What's the safest path? = Deactivate this plugin instead of deleting it: deactivating leaves your data in the database untouched, ready for the automatic importer in an upcoming release. If you'd rather not wait, Native AEO Pack's Quick Edit and Bulk Actions let you re-apply noindex/nofollow across many posts in seconds. == Screenshots == 1. Settings page with post types, taxonomies and special pages checkboxes (noindex + nofollow) and instant search. 2. robots column with two color-coded icons and quick edit checkboxes in the post list. 3. Block editor sidebar panel with noindex and nofollow toggles. 4. nofollow checkbox in the Classic Editor link popup. == Changelog == = 1.6.1 = * Improved: the "Native SEO Suite detected" card now shows the up-to-date plugin names for the family (Native SEO Meta Tags, Native SEO Sitemap Customizer) and a unified `dashicons-embed-generic` icon for the three suite plugins. The card text is now fully translatable. * Improved: settings page icons aligned with the Native SEO Suite brand color (was a red accent in earlier NoIndexer releases). = 1.6.0 = * New: renamed to **Native SEO NoIndexer** as part of the Native SEO Suite (with Native SEO Meta Tags and Native SEO Sitemap Customizer). Same plugin, same settings, same WordPress.org slug — only the display name changes. The Block and Classic editor panels still read "NoIndexer" to keep the editor UI compact. * New: shared **Native SEO Core** library bundled with the plugin. Adds a cross-promo banner with other AyudaWP plugins and a "Native SEO Suite detected" card on the settings page when another family plugin is active, with quick links between them. * Improved: unified visual identity across the Native SEO Suite — settings menu label shortened to `<> NoIndexer`, settings page icon set to `dashicons-embed-generic`, plus shared CSS tokens (brand colors, accent backgrounds) bundled in the core library. * Improved: cross-promo banner now automatically excludes other Native SEO Suite plugins from rotation when they are already active, so you only see recommendations for things you do not already have installed.

Settings page icons aligned with the suite brand color. The 1.6.0 rename to **Native SEO NoIndexer** is also included; same plugin, same settings, same WordPress.org slug. == Support == Need private support or custom development?
