No worries, cheers!

The thing is that I need "noarchive" for the whole site, but "noindex" just for a few topics. That's fine. I think Google is not serving cached copies any longer as of very recently. I just need to see if there are any other sites there that still do, as I don't want people to cheat the paywall. (That's why I use "noarchive"). So, I may be able to eliminate the "noarchive" tag. Cheers!

Sent. Thanks.

Yes, I did enable it for the topic.

Actually yes, that's the reason (I've deleted the "noarchive" tag in the ACP as a test and then put it back again). If I have a tag for robots in Search Engine Optimization > Meta Tags in the ACP, the "noindex" tag is not added. I thought one could have the two of them for as long as they were not conflicting with each other.

The "noarchive" tag comes from Search Engine Optimization > Meta Tags in the ACP. I have set up that for the whole forum, so basically I have https://domain.com/* So, I'm not surprised about that, as that should be there. But I was expecting to see the "noindex" in addition to that in the meta name tag of the particular topic I edited. And yes, I toggled the switch on in this topic I mean. So, my question is if what I done site-wide with the "noarchive" tag is what is causing the absence of the "noindex" tag in the edited topic?

@DawPi sorry to bother you again so soon. When I look at the page source code. I see: <meta name="robots" content="noarchive"> Which is correct as I don't allow Google to cache my pages, but is that mutually exclusive with "noindex"? Shouldn't I have both there? Because I enabled the plugin in one topic and that's all I see.

Great. Thank you very much; all good now. 👍

Hello @DawPi; I hope you've been well. I'm having problems trying to make this plugin work.
