Exclude specific URL?

    Is it possible to exclude a specific URL from the sitemap/indexing/following?

    I know there are settings in a page, but here I am using Ultimate Member. The member pages all use a page called Member and the data from UM is then inserted on those pages.

    So for example;

    https://mysite.com/member/username

    Since the /username is not an actual page, it just uses the ‘Member’ page settings.

    But I need to exclude some specific users.

    Hi Greg!

    This should do, it’ll apply noindex to the user pages:

    add_filter( 'the_seo_framework_robots_meta_array', function( $meta, $args, $ignore ) {

	if ( null === $args && function_exists( 'um_is_core_page' ) && um_is_core_page( 'user' ) ) {
		$meta['noindex'] = 'nonindex';
	}

	return $meta;
}, 10, 3 );

    If you want to be specific with users, then you’ll have to add more extensive calls in the filter, for example:

    if ( um_is_core_page( 'user' ) && um_get_requested_user() ) {
	um_fetch_user( um_get_requested_user() );

	// To see user() properties, peruse https://github.com/ultimatemember/ultimatemember/blob/2.1.15/includes/core/class-user.php
	// Example: Set noindex for user ID 42.
	if ( 42 === UM()->user()->id ) { 
		$meta['noindex'] = 'nonindex';	
	}

	um_reset_user();
}

    I hope this kickstarts your idea! Cheers 🙂
