אני רוצה שגוגל יאתר את התוכן בפורמט קישור domain/u/username, מה עלי לעשות?

I want Google to index the content in the link format domain/u/username, what should I do?

I have removed the Disallow: /u part to let the link format domain.com/u be indexed by Google, but what should I do if I want the slug format domain/u/username to be indexed by Google? Is there any other configuration?

I have not logged in and cannot access the slug format: domain/u/username, so I see that it is a problem for Google to index this slug format (attached image).

Thank you for supporting me, I am new to source discourse so there are still many things I do not understand. Thanks!

Hello :wave:

Is this site setting enabled on your site?
hide user profiles from public

If yes, than disable it and you’ll be able to access user profiles without login too.

Are you sure your users are equally happy that you would like to tell whole wide world about their membership and some other stuff?

but I still can’t submit the link in the form of domain/u/username to index with Google, what else do I need to open?

(I have attached the image for you to see the status)

If I remember right that limit comes a bit deeper than robots.txt. Sure, it is quite fast test allowing /u in robots.txt. But if it comes deeper from the core you may need a plugin.

Dig here. That was a thing perhaps a year ago, came along with SEO-stuff, and there was strong reason why it is not allowed.

I put it in robots.txt (attached image) but it didn’t work, so I came here to ask you.

Does “View live test” give you any more information?

It’s probably because user profiles send this HTTP header:

  • x-robots-tag: noindex

You can see it if you run this command in a terminal, replacing <url> with the URL of a user profile:

curl -sSL -D - -o /dev/null <url>

If you remove the robots.txt rule, Google will see that header and deindex the URLs.

Google’s documentation:

I know the url is Noindex but I don’t know where to edit it in the source discourse. In the robots.txt file, the Disallow: /u part has been removed. I have attached a photo.

Help me index slug into username of source code?

I want to open index for this slug domain like this example: https://domain.com/u/toannguyen/activity (example link), what do I need to do in the discourse source code?

Currently, when I submit this type of link in Google Search Console, it says it is blocked from indexing. Hope to get help?

Thanks team so much!

I don’t know, but why would you like to do that? It isn’t something that someone would search for. It doesn’t improve your SEO, and all allowed URLs are already reachable to Googlebot.

What is the local community development model I need to do? I have made this public to my members!
