Hi Steve,
So, next question:
Please note, using the WordPress feature of setting a page or post as private does nothing to secure the content in the directory. The entry data is still visible via the WordPress REST API and the WordPress SEO Sitemaps.
After we discovered this, I installed the AIOSEO plugin on our WordPress site, and on this page (which is now back in draft mode), I have the robots setting as:
`Robots meta:
No Index
No Follow
No Archive
No Translate
No Image Index
No Snippet
No ODP
Also, I went into robots.txt and set this page to not be found by the bot crawlers.
It has been suggested that I create a new directory page with a different name, go into the robots.txt and note that page, and set the SEO with these settings, keep the page password protected. Do you have any other suggestions (we would also delete the old page).
