This module blocks (well-behaved) search engine robots from crawling, indexing, or archiving your site by setting a "X-Robots-Tag: noindex,nofollow,noarchive" HTTP header.

Enable the module to block search engine robots. Disable the module to let them crawl your site.

Installation

Install this module like any other module. See Drupal Documentation

Configuration

Enable the module to block search engine robots. Disable the module to let them crawl your site.

Advanced Configuration

You can set the nobots variable to FALSE to leave the module enabled, yet still allow robots to crawl your site.

An example use-case would be to set $settings['nobots'] = FALSE; in settings.php for the production environment, and TRUE for all other environments.

To set the state nobots to TRUE. drush @[alias] state:set nobots 1 would block robots. You can also set the state nobots to FALSE. drush state:set nobots 0 would set this state to false.

Releases

Steps to build a new release:

  • Checkout the latest commit from the 8.x-2.x branch.
  • Create a new branch for the release.
  • Commit any necessary changes to the release branch.
    • These may include, but are not necessarily limited to:
    • Update the version in any info.yml files, including in any submodules.
    • Update the CHANGELOG to reflect the changes made in the new release.
  • Make a PR to merge your release branch into master
  • Give the PR a semver-compliant label, e.g., (patch, minor, major). This may happen automatically via Github actions (if a labeler action is configured).
  • When the PR is merged to master, a new tag will be created automatically, bumping the version by the semver label.
  • The github action is built from: semver-release-action, and further documentation is available there.
