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 …

I’d agree, tons of noindexed pages are no problem at all. Guess there is nothing more you could do than wait until all the pages are crawled again, so that they’ll be deindexed. For me, there are no more pages that are being indexed since the fix :slightly_smiling_face: Seems like most of you are e…

They’ve added a ‘noindex,nofollow’ X-Robots-Tag which is fine but if you have any of these URLs already indexed, you can request removal from the index in Google Search Console to speed up the process.

Today, while doing a site audit we noticed what appears to be a variation of the Web Pixels Manager bug described in this thread. Instead of [email removed] in the urls, it’s now [email removed] We discovered it using the “site:example.com” command in Google. These pages are getting indexed since…

It does happen to me as well. But it’s different to me. robots.txt has blocked the crawling of those pages: Disallow: /wpm@* Also, noindex,nofollow is used. Since the robots.txt doesn’t allow crawling, noindex,nofollow can’t be read by Google. And Google also just indexed one of those pages as w…

It’s NOT resolved, as I have this issue with hundreds of those pages in my Google Console. You need to fix this issue and don’t make any excuses !

Yes, there are two bugs now: Use robots.txt.liquid template on shopify and enter: Disallow: /web-pixels-manager@ Disallow: /wpm@ Shopify should fix this as it’s becoming an ongoing issue. My Google Search console is full of errors…

Why is this still going on , i thought shopify fixed this: [Screenshot 2023-03-13 015132.jpg] All the sudden my indexed page jump by 400 with this nonsense . As a business operator and owner i have tons of problems to deal with and i really don’t need this. SHOPIFY YOU NEED TO FIX THIS NOW

It was fixed, but shopify has changed the URL-pattern. The problem is, that they have blocked those URLs in robots.txt and Google does still index them, even though there are no backlinks. You or Shopify need to delete the new [email removed] statement from robots.txt in order to fix it.

How does one delete these from the robots.txt? I don’t even think I have access to that on my Shopify plan.

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