Does S2member Block All Posts From Indexing?

[Vinnyo]

OK here is a question...when I use the restrict or block access to all posts for non-members will that s2member block search engines as well. I have users create content on my main website where S2member is and just had this question asked to me if search engines can some how see those restricted pages.

If they can is there a way to block them?

Thanks
Vince

Go to WP Admin -> s2Member -> Restriction Options -> Alternative View Protection and see if that helps.

Hope this helps.
P.S. Remember to report back.

Content protected by s2Member is NOT visible to the public, and that includes search engines. Search engines are NOT allowed to access protected content. That being said, please DO read the section in your Dashboard that Eduan mentioned: s2Member -> Restriction Options -> Alternative Views.

Thanks for both responses,

Also thank you Jason. That was the confirmation I was looking for. I have been using s2member on my site for 2 years now and I have never had any issue with blocked posts getting indexed. Further more the extended restrictions are all on so everything is good. The question was brought forward so I just needed to confirm what I thought was the answer.

Thanks again for the info

Okay,
anything else you need just ask.
