Robots.txt bot directives

By default, Kirby SEO will dynamically generate a robots.txt file and add the robots meta tag to any page.

If a page is set to noindex, canonical tags and similar will not be added to the page as well.

You can disable all Robots handling, by setting tobimori.seo.robots.active to false in your config.php.

Panel

Next to the page status button, there is an "Indexing Allowed/Disallowed" button that shows the current robots status of the page.

You can hide this by setting tobimori.seo.robots.indicator to false in your config.php.

By default, there is a robots section in the panel. This allows overriding the site-wide robots rules from config.php on a per-page basis. The robots fields follow the same cascade logic as other metadata fields.

You can remove this section by setting tobimori.seo.robots.pageSettings to false in your config.php.

Site-wide Defaults (Options cascade)

By default, the page status determines if indexing is allowed. Drafts and unlisted pages are disallowed from indexing. Indexing is also disallowed if debug mode is enabled. These defaults can be overridden in the panel.

You can disable following the page status by setting tobimori.seo.robots.followPageStatus to false in your config.php.

The default indexing behavior for published pages can be customized by setting tobimori.seo.robots.index to a boolean or callable that returns a boolean.

Options

Options allow you to fine tune the behaviour of the plugin. You can set them in your config.php file:

// site/config/config.php

return [
    'tobimori.seo.robots' => [
        'active' => true,
        'content' => [
            '*' => [
                'Allow' => ['/'],
                'Disallow' => ['/kirby', '/panel', '/content']
            ]
        ]
    ],
];
