Prevent Getsimple site from calling Google - Hypertexter - 2021-11-04
Hi,
since I would like to play and test a new Getsimple installation in a hidden subdirectory: what do I have to do to tell Getsimple not to ping the site to search engines?
What do I need for that?
# define('GSDONOTPING', 1);
and/or
# define('GSNOSITEMAP',true);
in gsconfig.php or more?
Thank you for your help!

Waah!
I deactivated both, but anyway, one incautious click on "Generate Sitemap" (.../load.php?id=i18n_base&sitemap), and a sitemap is generated and sent to Google and all my efforts to make a secret test installation are obsolete!
This is a very poor solution. How could I safely use test installations only for ME, not for Google?

...long time ago of this post but I would use a htaccess with defined userdata in the main root of the test installation
so no searchengine see this installation
