Weird search results in google – showing ical: BEGIN:VCALENDAR VERSION:2.0 PRODI

[Inbar]

Here’s a screenshot of search results for rashut harabim: http://prntscr.com/by4kro
Showing: BEGIN:VCALENDAR VERSION:2.0 PRODID:-//רשות הרבים – ECPv4.2 …
What is that and how can I remove it from search results?

Hey Inbar,

Thanks for reaching out to us!

The page that is indexed there is the ical feed (/events/?ical=1) which the excerpt there is what would be on that page.

Is that the first result (or only result) from your website that shows when searching for the site name? Is it possible that you may have search engines blocked on the site or that there may be an SEO plugin activated that may need some modifications with the settings?

Thanks!

The SEO settings are fine. How can I noindex/nofollow the ical feed from Google?

Hey Inbar,

Thanks for following up here.

Here is a snippet that you can add to your theme’s functions.php to have the feed no longer indexed:

/**
* Set a noindex HTTP header on iCal feeds.
*
* @param  mixed $passthru (unused)
* @return mixed
*/
function set_noindex_on_ical_feeds( $passthru ) {
header( 'X-Robots-Tag: noindex' );
return $passthru;
}

add_filter( 'tribe_events_ical_feed_filename', 'set_noindex_on_ical_feeds' );

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks!
