Preventing Indico pages from being indexed?

1

Hi,

One of our website managers raised a question about whether there are any options for preventing public Indico event pages from being indexed by search engines (e.g., Google). Specifically, they want to know if there’s a way to ensure that certain Indico pages don’t show up in organic search results.

As far as I know there is no way within Indico to do this, other than making the event restricted I guess?

Thanks
Adam

If an event’s Visibility is set to “Hidden” (ie not shown in the category’s event listing for non-managers), then we add X-Robots-Tag: noindex, nofollow, noarchive, nosnippet to the response headers.

However, if you want the event to still be listed in a category, what you want to do is not possible, unless you add some custom config e.g. to your webserver config to insert that header for requests to /event/<youreventid>/...
