PPlanet Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 As IPS has no robots.txt file, how do we instruct search engines not to archive or keep cached copies of your site? (Without affecting normal indexing of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel F Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 You can just create your own robots.txt file and upload it via FTP to your host, or if you’re using CiC, just create a new page called robots.txt PPlanet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPlanet Posted July 12, 2020 Author Share Posted July 12, 2020 Thanks @Daniel F. If I create a Robots.txt page just to include the "noarchive" tag, doesn't that interfere somehow with whatever is IPS native? (No idea how IPS tells bots what to do, so I better ask before going ahead). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPlanet Posted July 12, 2020 Author Share Posted July 12, 2020 Upon a second look, it looks like robots.txt files only work with allow and disallow, so I may not be able to add noarchive like I could in a meta tag. So, that probably means editing a template then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfarber Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Typically you would edit globalTemplate and add whatever you want to the <head> of the document, or you can use the live meta tag editor to add meta tags to your site (if you set the URL as "*" the tags will apply to every page).
