Wordpress Privacy Settings and the Search Engines.

June 16th, 2010

Over time, as you learn more and more, you’ll soon find that knowledge that you once had, will slowly seep out of your brain (through the ears I think …) and soon stupid mistakes will be made.

Being an old time nerd, much has slipped away over the years – too much. Recently I relearned a basic setting in Wordpress that controls whether or not the search engines will read and index your site – an important thing for most websites out there!

Anyway, watch the video and learn to not make the same stupid mistake I made with Wordpress:

As some of you may know, I am a big advocate of Wordpress (or some other blog or CMS) in day-to-day web design work. You can learn more about Wordpress on killersites.com.

    Thanks for this post. I had the same problem but when I changed the setting back to “visible to search engines”, Google still says it is being blocked. I’ve waited for 3-4 days. How long did it take for your Wordpress site to be indexed after you made the changes?

    Thanks.

  2. Hi,

    It took about 2 weeks … give or take.
