I am noticing that for some reason Event Calendar Pro is set by default to noindex,follow. I have searched everywhere I can think of to fix this, but am having no success. Where specifically in the plugin can I edit this? This is having a major impact on the indexation of our events calendar.
Let me check this out and see if the team know of any straightforward fixes – I’ll update you again shortly.
OK, so this should be on the calendar page only (ie, not individual events). The main reason this exists is to prevent a huge number of months being indexed, I’d suppose because search engines could follow next / prev month links indefinitely.
If you want I could probably get you a snippet to alter this behaviour, though?
Barry, if you could that would be awesome. The problem is that http://www.lifeincorona.com/news/events is the page we are targeting for SEO purposes for event calendar related terms and we’d really like it to show up. If we can get rid of the noindex,follow I could simply apply the nofollow attribute to the previous and next month links. If you can explain to me how to do both that would be greatly appreciated.
Can you try adding this snippet to your theme’s functions.php file and confirm if that solves the noindex, follow issue in the first instance?
That worked Barry. Thanks for your help! Now, how do I access the previous and next months on the calendar to add nofollow attributes?
So for that please read up on our Themer’s Guide and template overrides tutorial first of all. Essentially though you could copy the gridview.php template – place it in your theme’s events directory and then edit the relevant links.
You can identify the links because they use the following template tags:
tribe_get_previous_month_link()
tribe_get_next_month_link()Does that help?
