How to avoid/exclude the word press site from the search Engine
Posted on 2012-12-21
How to avoid/exclude the word press site from the search Engine. I have installed the Password Protect WordPress but still I am seeing from the search engine.
I need to hide my site from search engine at the same time all the internal search should not be affected. Could you please provide me a fool proof way.
Highly appreciate your help in this regards.

Use .htaccess protection at the web root level:

That will prevent all search engines from getting in. You will have to give users the username and password though.
Otherwise, you set WordPress to disallow search engine robots in robot.txt under Settings | Reading by clicking "Discourage search engines from indexing this site"
