Hello!
Those pages are generated by “tagDiv Opt-In Builder” during the installation. They are registered among your other pages, and I recommend applying “noindex” to the pages “Checkout,” “My account,” and “Login/Register.”
TSF might’ve highlighted these pages to search engines via its sitemap, but the affected sites you listed use all sorts of SEO plugins and face the same issue.
Please note that the “tagDiv Opt-In Builder” plugin also generates a few public post types that ought to be private. Among these are tds_email and tds_locker. tdb_templates, tdc-review, and tdc-review-email are referred to in their code as well, and from a few sites I found them on, those appear to be incorrectly registered as “public” too.
So, I recommend applying ‘noindex’ to all those post types via “SEO Settings > Robots Meta Settings > Indexing > Post Type Settings.” If a post type isn’t listed there, it either isn’t registered or public.
Without a URL to your site, I cannot dig further into potential issues caused by these plugins. Still, I hope the above instructions already help 🙂 Cheers!
Very insightful … thank you!
At “SEO Settings > Robots Meta Settings > Indexing > Post Type Settings.”
Apply noindex to Posts? – post
Apply noindex to Pages? – page
Apply noindex to Media? – attachment
Apply noindex to Reviews? – tdc-review [?]Apply noindex to Cloud Templates? – tdb_templates [?]
I have the following setting set
General > Exclusions > Post Type Exclusions set for
(checked) Reviews – tdc-review
(checked) Cloud Templates – tdb_templates
So there isn’t an option to disable indexing tds_* entries
Perhaps this is something that needs to be added to the SEO Framework
Thank you for your very thorough explanation – very much appreciated !!!
