Hello,

For some reason, google are indexing the print version pages.
I don't want to have these indexed.

How can i complete disable this feature and why google are indexing these pages?

Thanks

In config.php:
Text Formatted Code
$_CONF['hideprintericon']       = 0;    // If 1, hide "printer friendly" option

Googlebot is simply following any link on your site, including the one to the printer-friendly version of an article. Actually, search engines like that version particularly as it contains only the article's text without the navigation, etc.

bye, Dirk
