nofollow in feed_link?

skewray · 2024-06-20 17:21:43

I am trying to clean up the many, many complaints from the Google Search Console, so that the relevant complaints remain. Google complains that every rss & atom link is not in the sitemap (“crawled but not indexed”). I think I want to add rel="nofollow" to <txp:feed_link>. How would I do that?

That is an odd complain from google search console. I’ve never had or seen that one. I suppose that that complain only applies to link-to-feed you have in the <body /> of your page (?).

Anyway, you can build those link-to-feed more manually:

<a type="application/atom+xml" rel="alternate nofollow" href="<txp:site_url />atom/" title="Atom feed">

That is for the general feed. If you need more section or category specific links, add something like ?section=foo%2Cbar at the end of the URL. Repeat for RSS feeds if needed (with application/rss+xml).

Yes, link-to-feed in <body>. I was told I should keep those, even though I also have them in the header. Not sure why? Seems like I should be able to slide in a nofollow somehow into feed_link.

That’s easy, but dirty (but easy):

<txp:feed_link trim="<a" replace='<a rel="nofollow"' />

Beautiful! Well, ugly, but it solves my problem without ten lines of Txp. Thank you.
