I’ve seen this one happen a few times now. When I look at the logs, it looks like they just log in (no new user), and go to the plugin editor and add their code. What are the common ways that they get the password? I already changed it once for a client and removed the ‘admin’ user.

Though, upon reflextion, I’m guessing it’s not such an easy fix. I’m assuming the spider goes to the mobile view. If it thinks all your main urls are mobile pages, than it’s only option is to index the ‘switch to desktop’ links for the regular directory.

That might explain why it seemed to prefer to index something like https://mysite.com/?p=#&wpmp_switcher=desktop instead of https://mysite.com/?p=#.

It sounds like you are thinking of adding a meta nofollow tag rather than a rel=”nofollow” to the ‘switch to desktop’ link?

When I first tested the plugin on my LG phone and did a search on Google Mobile for my site, Google used it’s own formatting and ignored the plugin by default. So I never considered that.

I’m assuming Google can still travel through the site and see the proper mobile headers without following and indexing the wpmp_switcher=desktop type links.

Sorry if I came off harsh, other than the duplicate pages being indexed by Google, it looks like a great plugin.
