Posted February 5, 201510 yr Can you include robotstxt.txt file for IPS 4.0 to archive with RC version?
May 3, 201510 yr Management We do not include a robots.txt in IPS4 as it is not needed. Guest links can be removed entirely for inaccessible sections, so there's nothing for search engines to exclude as they won't see it anyway.

Why is it relevant for Google to index for example the ?do=reportComment pages???
June 8, 201510 yr Why is it relevant for Google to index for example the ?do=reportComment pages??? It isn’t, and that’s why Google won’t usually even see that link, because it gets hidden through the guest permissions – that’s what Lindy explained.
June 8, 201510 yr Hmm, in guest mode I receive indeed a 404 error (good).Google's index is not updated yet then. The pages are cached around March this year. Edited June 8, 201510 yr by pyro888
May 11, 20169 yr can you disallow google from indexing the members profiles (/profile/) from within admin setting guest restrictions? Thanks,

Yes there is - anything with a CSRF key in the URL will cause issues.
May 12, 20169 yr on the "Use recommended settings?" i'm on "manual" settings but when we take a look at the xml generated by the sitemap.php we can see clearly that the option as little as no effect and yes we have open support incident on this and other bug on the sitemap, url issue etc etc...

I think you should have created a new topic on your sitemap issue. This topic is about robots.txt started by Ilya Hoilik.
May 18, 20178 yr hello, @Colonel_mortis is there a workaround on this? what issues do you mean ? can you please elaborate? @Lindy hello, is there any documentatiion specifically that will explain this to a newbie " Guest links can be removed entirely for inaccessible sections"
