Google indexing

Post by leonardo barros » Wed May 22, 2024 4:46 pm

Hello! I'm facing an issue in Joomla 3.10 while using the Phoca Download 3.2.3 extension. The error at hand is that files and folders are being indexed by Google. This means that when I search for these files or folders in Joomla, they appear for any user to access. I've already configured the access levels for both files and folders only for registered users, but the error persists. What could it be? And what can be done to fix this? Anyone is able to access these files and folders, even though they are configured as restricted.

Move the folder for the images outside of the Web Root (public_html)

It worked, the folders are no longer accessed without permission. However, PDF files are still being indexed, and using the URL still allows access to them.

Google indexing phocadowload

Post by leonardo barros » Wed May 29, 2024 6:43 pm

Hello! I'm facing an issue in Joomla 3.10 while using the Phoca Download 3.2.3 What I noticed is that it's not blocking and allowing anyone to access even with access permissions configured, and the URL being indexed is /component/phocadownload/category, but normally without /phocadownload it blocks. Could you shed some light on how to solve this?
