Topic summary
Main issue: The entire Shopify site is not being indexed, traced to a robots meta tag in the header, possibly linked to a customer login-related file (wlm-head.liquid).
Key guidance: Remove the blocking robots meta tag from wlm-head.liquid and add the desired robots meta tag in theme.liquid within the section. One suggestion is to place the meta tag below the viewport meta tag.
Clarifications: A robots meta tag tells search engines whether to index a page (“index/noindex”) and follow links (“follow/nofollow”). theme.liquid is the main layout file; wlm-head.liquid appears to inject head content affecting indexing.
Latest status: After attempting changes, pages still aren’t indexed. The instructions may not be applied correctly, and further clarification was requested.
References: A Shopify help article about hiding pages from search engines was shared for steps on managing robots directives.
Attachments: Multiple screenshots of the code in the header are central to diagnosing the issue.
Outcome: No resolution yet. Open questions include how to safely remove or override the site-wide blocking tag and ensure all pages are indexable without breaking login or other functionality.
