Description

This plugin adds a warning to the WordPress admin bar when search engine visibility is off.

That’s all it does! No options, settings, or complications, just a small but obvious warning to ensure you never launch a site with the “Discourage search engines from indexing this site” box checked.

How to use

Install the plugin from the WordPress plugin repository and activate the plugin. There are no settings or options.

Very Useful for your site

I wonder nobody thought of this before. The moment I knew about this plugin, I added it to my couple of sites. The author of the plugin is simply genius.
