Title: All products meta robots are set as "NO" since 3.8.4
Post by: Melmoi on November 01, 2020, 15:54:26 PM
Hello,
Since I have installed 3.8.4, all of my products meta robots have been changed to "no" instead of "index, follow".
Is there a quick way to change all the products to "index, follow" ?
thank you

UPDATE `#__virtuemart_products` SET `metarobot`= 'index, follow'

replace #_ with your table prefix

but note  .. no metarobots tag is the same as index, follow

Because 'index,follow is' the default meta robots setting, there is no need to explicitly add this.

Exactly!!!

A lot of "speshitpillt for SEO", a lot of admins, a lot of online SEO servicies (etc. www.seoservis.cz) says Joomla website has error - the website must have "index, follow" and if missing - this is error.

I say - this is big mistake from these speshitpillts and when I see anything from these speshitpillts, then I know - they don't understand his work and they not speshitpillt.

A couple years are informations from Google or Mozilla, which say a right information about this problem, how robot use information about "index, follow".

The information is the same as said GJC Web Design.
