Using V4.7.1 and Under Construction "Plugin" does not support IP V6

Hello Gurus,

The Plugin " Under Construction" does not support or accept IP V6 and I was told to wait till next upgrade. So My question is, "How do I prevent my site not being Indexed by Google till I complete the Sub-Category Pages. I have no option but to disable the Under Construction Plugin off and on to have access to the User Interface.

How can I block the unfinished Pages from being indexed while the site is in live mode?.

Any suggestion please and how big of a risk is it to have the Not Ready Website go Live.

Thank you.

create a file ROBOTS.TXT in the root of the site
or edit it
write the following in it

Dear Vitalik Alekseev,
Sorry for my ignorance in advance. If you can explain little further as to where exactly I can go make the changes. Is it in the Admin back-end or on the Server-end. Any guide as to how I can get there.

Thanks

You need to create a txt file (robots.txt) and upload to your server is what he means. I am not sure if it should go into /public_html/ or /public_html/install_directory/ that will need to be answered by Vitalik Alekseev.

Flynax can confirm this if true, but another way to do this would be install the geo / filter plugin. It allows you to assign de assign any part of your site to being indexed. what you would do is set every single thing on your site not to be indexed until your ready.

before you make a site learn programming, at least the minimum level
to close the site from indexing is enough to change
file robots.txt
he is on the server

thus you will close the site from indexing

Thank you Vitalik Alekseev,

I have put the command as "Disallow:/" and I assume I can go ahead and disable the Plugin "Under Construction" to have access to the User Interface. Even though the site will be live but will not be indexd by Search Engines. Am I correct?

Thanks.

Pete Young, Thank you for the input.

Brian Jester,

Thank you for your input and it has been solved.

yes you are right it will not be indexed, but everyone will have access to the site
I recommend in the plugin settings Under Construction
in field Allowed IP-addresses
add your ip address
you can not delete this 127.0.0.1
should be so
127.0.0.1;your IP

The above IP 127.0.0.1 is in place and I have already added my IP.
Thank you for the help and guidance.
