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…

@gregbernhardt Please checkout my comment above, thank you

They’re supposed to give us news early this week (see page 14 of this thread). Lets keep our fingers crossed. I’m hopeful this will be the final fix as they truly have identified the root cause.

Also getting an inordinate amount of 404 redirects due to this issue. When is this getting resolved Shopify?

Hi @IanSEM , what do you mean by a 404 redirect?

@gregbernhardt We were advised very early this week but still have no update or PDF/Documentation… We’re now almost 5 months since I first reported this issue - when is the update coming?

The fix needs to be more than a .pdf, it needs to be a collaboration with google to undo the damage. I just got word that one of the Shopify sites I’m working with is switching platforms, they have 144k monthly visitors. My patience with Shopify is officially gone.

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

Same with me - latest batch of 404s on the 4th May - will part of the long awaited solution be to redirect these 404’s?
