Re: Hide page (not product page) from site search & from Google

hostilearth · ‎04-24-2024

Hi. Is there any way to hide a page, not a product page, from a site search and from Google search results that doesn't involve editing the theme code, such as what Shopify suggests here.

I'm aware I can hide the page from Google search console, so that's acceptable, but can I prevent a page from appearing in the site search results? I don't want to hide all pages, just particular pages.

Thank you.

You can set a metafield on the page object.

Similar to the following link, but that one talks about products, you need to do the same for pages.

Hi @hostilearth ,

example: if you want to disable the page with the URL is /pages/test then you can try this code by following these steps:

Step 1: Go to Online Store->Theme->Edit code.

Step 2: Search file theme.liquid

Step 3: Paste the below code at the after <head> element of the file -> Save

{% if handle contains 'test' %}
<meta name="robots" content="noindex">
{% endif %}

example: if you want to disable the page with the URL /products/product1and /products/product2 then you can try this code by following these steps:

Step 1: Go to Online Store->Theme->Edit code.

Step 2: Search file theme.liquid

Step 3: Paste the below code at the after <head> element of the file -> Save

{% if handle contains 'product1' or handle contains "product2" %}
<meta name="robots" content="noindex">
{% endif %}

Hope my solution works perfectly for you!

I specifically asked for a solution that didn't involve editing the theme code. I even linked to the solution you wrote out, saying I didn't want that solution.

Thank you. I actually knew of this solution for products but didn't know I could use it for individual pages too.
