    Why are my media uploads (PDFs specifically) showing in google search results? I have it toggled OFF in Yoast settings. I do not have a premium account, but I don’t know if that makes a difference.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hello @piyad,

    Thanks for reaching out about your media files.

    Individual media files, like PDFs, cannot be?set to noindex using our plugin because when you directly access these PDF files, they are not served through WordPress.

    Look into using the X-Robots-Tag. These tags need to be added to your server configuration. As the tags vary depending on your server, please check the article:?https://yoast.com/x-robots-tag-play/?and identify the relevant tag you need.

    Thanks for your response @maybellyne –

    Where would I need to add the x-robots-tag? Is it not in wordpress?

    That will be your .htaccess file. Kindly refer to this article for further assistance – https://yoast.com/x-robots-tag/
