  I want to block a single page through .htaccess so that users can visit the page and view the content but google bots is not allowed to view or access the page. Don’t recommend other methods.

  Hi there,

  On WordPress.com you cannot access the .htaccess file. You can only discourage search engines like Google from crawling your site by setting the privacy settings to Hidden. Here’s how to do it:

  Hey micahphillips27!

  Could you please mention your website?

  It sounds like you have a self-hosted WordPress site.

  I hope you know WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different platforms. To understand more, please read this.
