Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Prevent Indexing on Non-Live Sites

No, the plugin only alters the "Search Engine Visibility" setting in WordPress.

The plugin will display an admin notice prompting you to set the live site URL. Until set, no actions are taken on search engine visibility.

The encoding is to prevent migration tools from inadvertently changing the URL during a search and replace operation, which is common when moving WordPress sites.
