    Hi

    Google shows the text “show blocks helper” in search results when they show a WooCommerce product tag archive. Where does Google robots read this and how can I stop this happening?

    Search link: https://www.google.com/search?q=blakes+cycles
    Search page screen grab: https://snipboard.io/wqFsoe.jpg

    Please note that the text is on Google search results not on my website. Naturally, Google robots were not logged into the site as an admin when they scanned the page…

    Thank you

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

    Thank you. However, it is already set to No.

    Besides, that button is only visible when logged in to the site. It is not visible to public.

    As far as I can see that deletion will remove the helper facility completely. Are you planning to remove the facility from future releases of the plugin?

    I can delete the code section but it will take a while for Google to scrape the pages and by then if you update the plugin the removed code will return hence the text will show up again in search results.

    The fact is at its current form and set up correctly Google robots somehow see the text which should be hidden to non logged in visitors. Don’t you think it is a better option to address the cause rather than modify one instance of the plugin?

    Thanks for listening.
