Hi -

I want to make certain toolset custom post types (generated using a toolset content template) not to be indexed by search engines. How do I accomplish this?

My site is hidden link.

PS: I want the pages to be accessible to guest users who have the URL, but not find the pages using Google search.

Hello,

You just need to setup a file Robots.txt in your website, tell the search engine to exclude certain post type directory , for example :

Disallow: /my-cpt-a/*
Disallow: /my-cpt-b/*

hidden link
