<p><strong>Multisite search visibility indicator</strong> is a lightweight plugin that keeps you informed at a glance whether your site — or any site in your network — is accidentally blocking search engines.</p>
<p>WordPress has a built-in setting under <em>Settings <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Reading</em> called “Search Engine Visibility”. When enabled, it adds a <code>noindex</code> directive that tells search engines not to index your site. This is easy to accidentally leave on after development, and notoriously hard to notice.</p>
<p>This plugin adds a persistent indicator to the WordPress toolbar so you never miss it again.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Toolbar indicator visible to administrators at all times (front-end and back-end)</li>
<li>Color-coded status: green when search engines are allowed, yellow/red when blocked</li>
<li><strong>Multisite ready</strong>: shows a per-site breakdown across your entire network</li>
<li>Each site in the dropdown links directly to its Reading Settings for a one-click fix</li>
<li><strong>Bulk management page</strong> (Multisite only): allow or discourage search engines across all — or selected — sites in a single action</li>
<li>Zero configuration required — install and it just works</li>
<li>No external dependencies, no tracking, no bloat</li>
</ul>
<h4>Multisite Bulk Management</h4>
<p>On a Multisite installation the plugin adds a <strong>Search Engine Visibility</strong> page under <em>Network Admin <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Settings</em>. From there you can:</p>
<ol>
<li>See every site in the network and its current visibility status</li>
<li>Select individual sites or all sites at once</li>
<li>Apply “Allow search engines” or “Discourage search engines” in one click</li>
</ol>
<h4>Who is this for?</h4>
<ul>
<li>Agencies managing WordPress Multisite networks</li>
<li>Developers who frequently spin up and hand off sites</li>
<li>Site owners who want a quick sanity check without digging through settings</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>This plugin is now part of <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/native-aeo-pack/" rel="ugc">Visibility</a>.</strong></p>
<p>Everything this plugin does is bundled into Visibility, a single lightweight<br />
plugin that unifies the three AyudaWP “Native SEO” plugins (Meta Tags, NoIndexer<br />
and Sitemap Customizer) into one, built entirely on WordPress native features.</p>
<p>This plugin still works and stays available, but new features and fixes now go<br />
into Visibility. If you’re setting up a new site, install Visibility<br />
instead of this one.</p>
<h4>Moving to Visibility</h4>
<ol>
<li>Install and activate <strong>Visibility</strong>.</li>
<li>Open its settings, enable the modules you need (Meta Tags, NoIndex, Sitemap)<br />
and set your site-wide options.</li>
<li>Deactivate this plugin. Visibility reminds you while both are active,<br />
because running both at once prints duplicate tags.</li>
<li>Check your page source: you should see a single set of tags, from Visibility.</li>
</ol>
<p>Your settings are not imported automatically in this first version. Site-wide<br />
options take a minute to re-enter. For per-post values (individual noindex/nofollow,<br />
custom titles and descriptions, Open Graph images), deactivate this plugin rather<br />
than deleting it, so the data stays in place for the automatic importer planned<br />
for a future Visibility release.</p>
