Sure, without /category/ in the URL structure I can't block Googlebot using the robots.txt

No problem, now I can use the noindex for all the posts.

Thank you so much Oleg.

Hi Oleg, thanks for your help.

I did just some tests and does it seems to work fine.

Do you think is possible to block Google bot to indexing all the post of a category?in this way (disallow/ in the robots.txt) I could save the Google crawle budget for the pages of my site that I want to index.

Thanks a lot for your help Oleg.

Have a nice weekend,- Mike

Hi everyone!

I would like no-indexing all the posts of a specific category of my wordpress site.

The problem is that the structure of my URL is composed without /category/: www.site-name.ext/date/post-name/
so without /category-name/

Is possibile to disallow the indexing of all the posts of the category via robots.txt?

Using Yoast Plugin I can put the no-index for each post, but I would like to put the no-index (or disallow/) a time for all the post of the category.

Thanks in advance for your help and sorry for my english.

Hi David, thanks for your answer.

I usually use the plugin Wordpress Seo By Yoast to "Strip the category base (usually /category/) from the category URL" but in this case I'm not able to use it because It makes conflict with the pages url.

Hi all,

I would like to ask you what's the better way to eliminate the slug /category/ form the wordpress category pages. I need to delete the slug /category/ to make the url seo frendly. The problem is that my site is an old site with the page indexed by Google for a long time.

Thanks for your advice.

Thank you for your feedback. It helps.

All best,

Hi all,

I have a quick question about the proper use of permalinks.

Let's say that I have a website about sports and I want to create an internal page dedicated to shoes. I know that the keyword "shoe" has 15.000 monthly visits, while the keyword "shoes" has 1.000 monthly visits. How do I have to name the internal page? http://www.example.com/shoe or http://www.example.com/shoes (with a final 's')?

I would think that by naming the URL http://www.example.com/shoes, the search engine would consider that page for the keywords "shoe" and "shoes", but I am not sure about it. Should I create a URL that only focuses on one specific keyword ("shoe", in this example) or a URL that may encompass more than one keyword ("shoe" and "shoes")?

I hope this is clear. Thank you for your time and help.

All best,

• Sal
