Yiith Wishlist plugin generated hundreds of new pages

Hello there,
we hope you’re doing well!

Those links should not be visible by Google Search Console since they have the rel attribute set to “no-follow”.

I recommend you perform the following steps to verify if the problem comes from any modification in the links by your theme or a plugin, or if it is a configuration on your site:

• update the plugin, WC and WP to the latest version.
• change to a default WP theme like 2023.
• Leave only WC and our plugin active, and activate your plugins in batches until you find the one that conflicts.

Please let us know any news.

Best regards.

Hi,

I use Flatsome theme.

If I change the theme, the page won’t display properly, so I can’t do that.

WordPress version: 6.4.2 is the latest

YITH WooCommerce Wishlist is version 3.27.0.

In this article, they write about the attribute, and as far as I can see, the no-follow mark is not enough to prevent Google from indexing the link:

How can I check if the problem is gone?

Best regards.

Hi there,

Please, check if adding the following code in the functions.php can help you with your problem:

add_filter( 'yith_wcwl_skip_noindex_headers', '__return_true' );

We look forward to hear from you.

Hi,

Thank you for your help, can you help me how to check it?

Best regards.

Hi,

You can add the code in the functions.php of your theme and then check with Google Search Console. Keep in mind it might take some time until the bots makes the new attempt to see the correct results.

Let us know.

Hi,
