Events not indexing in search engines

Hi there!

Thank you for contacting us. I’ll be happy to help you.

My GSC keeps showing that my events pages have “noindex” tag.?

Yes, if you check your page source code you’ll see that there is two meta robots tags, and the second one shows the noindex there.

We’re aware that this is happening for a small set of websites with some specific configurations, and we already have an internal bug ticket to investigate that.

The good news is that there’s a workaround. Please add the following PHP snippet into your theme’s functions.php file or using the Code Snippets plugin:

function my_custom_tribe_events_no_index_meta() {
  if( is_single() && 'tribe_events' == get_post_type() {
    add_filter( 'tribe_events_add_no_index_meta', '__return_false' );}
}

add_action( 'wp', 'my_custom_tribe_events_no_index_meta' );

Best Regards,

thank you for your respnse. Unfortunately I got syntax error

Oh, sorry for that! One ) was missing, let me share the correct snippet here:

function my_custom_tribe_events_no_index_meta() {
  if( is_single() && 'tribe_events' == get_post_type() ) {
    add_filter( 'tribe_events_add_no_index_meta', '__return_false' );}
}

add_action( 'wp', 'my_custom_tribe_events_no_index_meta' );

thank you, now it works perfectly fine ??

Hi there,

We’ve just release The Events Calendar version 6.2.3, which addresses a fix for that issue!

Please update your Events Calendar plugins and that issue should be gone.

Best regards,

Hello @gugaalves

I already Used your Code using Code Snippets plugin to Indexing my Website all 650 Event Pages. But can you tell me please How much time it’s required to index? and How can i check It’s Work or Not?

Thank you

Please Tell me more About The Events Calendar version 6.2.3, is it important to use This Code “After Updating Events Calendar version 6.2.3 or I have to Delete the code from my website

function my_custom_tribe_events_no_index_meta() {
  if( is_single() && 'tribe_events' == get_post_type() ) {
    add_filter( 'tribe_events_add_no_index_meta', '__return_false' );}
}

add_action( 'wp', 'my_custom_tribe_events_no_index_meta' );

Version 6.2.3 fixed that issue, so you don’t need to use the snippet anymore.

Also, note that we can’t guarantee that a page will be indexed by Google. If you don’t have anything blocking the pages (like having noindex on those page headers), it’s up to Google to decide to index site urls or not, no plugin can guarantee that your content will be indexed as that’s something up to Google to decide.
