Hello,

I was just trying to install your plugin and got this error on install:
Warning: touch() [function.touch]: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid/gid is 1165/531 is not allowed to access /tmp owned by uid/gid 0/0 in /home/.sites/22/site31/web/site/wp-admin/includes/file.php on line 174

Can you help?

Thank you for your hard work and support!

Dear Joost,

first of all thanks for your great plugins.

I was wondering: it is possible to exclude from indexing just some selected tag pages (eg: tag/john - tag/smith - etc.)?

Thank you very much in advance.

[...] Update 3/30/2009: I found another great plugin with the help of Andy Beard that lets you selectively pick pages and posts to “noindex” in Google. Just download/install/activate it, and open the post you want to edit. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the post, and you’ll see a checkbox with 4 options (index/follow, index/no follow, noindex/follow, noindex/nofollow). ‘Index’ means it will appear in Google. ‘Follow’ means links will be followed and given seo juice. I’m using noindex/follow on WordpressPPC. I most likely will use noindex/nofollow on affiliate sites. (Download) [...]

Hi there Joost. Great plugin you've created there, I already love it.

But sadly I have a little Problem already:
First: Iam using wp 2.5.1 with an actual theme. The installation is quite fresh and there are not much plugins in it.

Problem: When I want to use a nofollow tag on a single page, it doesn't take effekt on this page. Neither there's a radio button checked by standard, nor after activating it and saving the page (the dot is removed again after reloading). The result is that the nofollow tag is missing in the source code.

I think the problem is my wordpress version, because on another blog i have 2.3 and the whole thing works perfect.

Please help :)
Greetings,
Flo

Disallow: ^/?p=174$

Disallow: ^/?p=174$/

Thanks

Joost de Valk — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 08:43:53 +0000

Ah, try adding a ^ in front, so doing:

Disallow: ^/?p=174$

By: Rasheed

Rasheed — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 08:38:23 +0000

The result:

===================================

The following block of code DISALLOWS the crawling of the following files and directories:

/*p=174/ /*p=7/ /*p=95/ /*p=80/ /*?p=179/ /?p=178/ /*?p=155/ /*?p=66/ /*p=193/ /*p=407/ /?p=189/ /?p=59/ /?p=465/ /*?p=85/ /*p=232/ /*p=117/ /*?p=368/ /*?p=350/ /*p=76/ /*p=85/ /*p=379/

to the following spiders/robots: Googlebot

===================================

As you see i tried many combination to see which of them is effective.

/*p=00/
/?p=00/
/*?p=00/

None of them worked.

Which pages did it say you were blocking?

By: Rasheed

Rasheed — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 08:31:19 +0000

Yes.

Also validated it here:
http://tool.motoricerca.info/robots-checker.phtml

The result:
No errors found in this robots.txt file

Joost de Valk — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 08:25:09 +0000

Hmm have you tried testing the robots.txt with the robots.txt validator inside google webmaster tools?
