Great, thank you very much. All good now. I have also tested with Google Webmasters Tools, and the bot can access posts normal guests can't. 👍

Hi @DawPi, I hope all is well with you. I've answered my same question I made before (probably in the wrong place) regarding this plugin, by buying and installing this version. (I had an much older one you made for me) It is not working at least with IPS 4.7.20 (I jumped from 4.7.14 to 4.7.20 a couple of weeks ago, so I don't know exactly when it stopped working, but going by Google's webmasters tools, I suspect it may have been the security patch Invision released the other week, that broke it). Any chance of testing it and releasing a new version to work with 4.7.20 or 4.7.21?

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.
