Discourage Search Engines by URL

Allows you to discourage search engines by url to prevent you from forgetting to turn off the « Search Engine Visibility » setting when going between development and live instances.

Features

1. A field to enter in as many domains as needed
2. An icon in the admin bar to display if the current page is indexable for convenience and debugging
3. A checkbox to hide the icon in the admin bar

Usage

1. Go to Settings > Reading
2. Make sure « Search Engine Visibility » is unchecked
3. Add your development environment URL(s) or any url you want to be not indexable. You can do partial urls such as « staging. » to cover all staging. subdomains.
4. Hover the eye icon in the admin bar to make sure it is set up correctly.

For Example: if my live site was google.com and my development site was dev.google.com I would enter dev.google.com in the field.
