We'll consider this further. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/feature-request-automatically-add-noindex-nofollow-to-forms#post-18332 Tue, 21 May 2013 11:20:10 +0000 CMather 18332@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>This is just a feature request idea if possible in the next release.<br /> By default crawlers from Google etc will follow the forms. On our site this causes issues such as duplicated content etc...</p> <p>Every time there is a new release from Machform, we go into "/includes/view-functions.php"<br /> Add the following line: &lt;meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow" /&gt; right after:<br /> &lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /&gt; (A few different spots)<br /> This fixes the issue and the forms are kept out of search, sitemaps and other areas of our site.</p> <p>I guess some users might want the forms crawled and indexed for what ever reason.</p> <p>So is it possible to add a setting into "Settings" for Robots, so users can either turn on or turn off robots depending on their needs.<br /> Example: Follow, Index vs Nofollow, Noindex</p> <p>Hope that makes sense.</p> <p>Cheers,<br /> Chris </p>
