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…

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
