Events Calendar page showing as noindex?

[buggybuddys]

Your page https://www.buggybuddys.com.au/perth-events/ uses the Meta Robots tag with the “noindex” or “none” attribute.

Where can I change this setting? I’ve got SEO YOAST and all the YOAST setting show to index the Events Pages and Categories so not sure where else the page is picking up this attribute?

Hi Jennie!

By default, the main calendar page is set to “noindex.” There is no built in settings to change this, but you can override this behavior by adding a short snippet to your child theme’s functions.php.


add_filter( 'tribe_events_add_no_index_meta', '__return_false' );


I’m not an SEO expert, but I do believe there was a reason they have the default set this way. Changing this setting may have other consequences, so do so at your own risk.

Let me know if this helps!

Thanks,
Sky

Thanks Sky, oddly this morning after posting this and sending a support ticket to my SEO YOAST plugin support my home page events calendar is now showing in google results but isn’t ranking. How can that be if there’s a NOINDEX statement embedded in the code?

Jennie,

Again, I’m not really that knowledgeable about SEO matters such as this. I’m not sure why this is the case.

Are you using a shortcode to create your events page, or just using the default events archive setup?

Thanks,
Sky
