Shopify has a new bug - they are indexing tons of useless pages in Google again. Is there any way to stop this from happening? The code seems to only be editable by shopify since it’s in the content_for_header. Do a google search for: inurl:/web-pixels-manager@ ( https://www.google.com/search?q=in…

Hello everyone. Thank you for your patience while we worked towards providing a fix to this issue and building out an FAQ that addresses the primary concerns and questions from this thread. You can find our FAQ on the Community Blog. We welcome you to continue the conversation in the blog section …

Also please check if we can use this solution for the time being (Read this on another community post) {% if request.path == ‘/search’ and search.results_count == 0 %} {% endif %}

@ahsonmkhan yes you can use that. Once implemented, please confirm it’s working.

@ahsonmkhan that page is sending noindex via header but your theme is injecting a robots meta which says to index.

@gregbernhardt This is a bit complicated for me. please suggest should I go ahead with putting that noindex tag in the head section only or is there anything else that should be done along with it

Hi @gregbernhardt when can we expect shopify to come out with a fix for this…? Just an estimated date of when the devs can fix this issue that is plaguing many merchants

@Greg-Bernhardt Hi Greg Response please to my other questions: I think part of the problem is that shopify has created many url options of this sandbox pixel and now I have them scattered around in Google Page Indexing - I have versions in: Blocked by Robots.txt Crawled - currently not indexed …

@Denis_B Blocked by Robots.txt: These will reduce over time as we removed the block Crawled - currently not indexed: this report is not an issue in this instance Excluded by ‘noindex’ tag: this report is not an issue in this instance Not found (404): this report is not an issue in this instance

We all have lots of [email removed] urls in GSC indexed page. @gregbernhardt Now what is the solution for these pages?

I have the same problem. A lot of blank pages reported by google console related to web pixel sandbox manager. Google is anyway not indexing the pages because “excluded by no index tag”

How can I prevent the new indexing bug from creating useless pages on Google?
