Description
The meta robots tag on closed support threads is currently set to noindex, nofollow
. This should be changed to noindex, follow
, to allow crawlers to follow internal links.
E.g., See https://wordpress.org/support/topic/its-working-i-think/, https://wordpress.org/support/topic/best-plugin-454/

- Status changed from closed to reopened
We want them crawling links back into the rest of the site, through the navigation. We definitely want to open this up. These posts are linked to, and being crawled anyway.
Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.
We don't want robots crawling internal links for 2+ year old posts. Support posts that old don't have much value.
