Hello,
I would like to set past events for Google to “noindex”. Unfortunately SeoPress does not show any possibility to define SEO settings in the events created with EventEspresso. I can only set the archive of the taxonomy type “event categories [espresso_event_categories]” to noindex. How do events come to the archive? Automatically? Or is there another way to use SeoPress with EventEspresso?
Many thanks for your help

Hi Helga,
There is a way to have the noindex tag applied automatically at the moment the event end. It’s a tiny bit of code you can add to your site:

You can add the above to a functions plugin by following this guide.

I got this answer from SeoPress. It’s about setting individual posts on NoIndex.
“I have bad news ?
EventEspresso doesn’t not use a WordPress custom post type to save its events.
”
This is incorrect, Event Espresso does use a custom post type for its events.
We do not use the default WordPress editor routes, but we do use custom post types for our events with additional info stored in custom tables, however, EE events have show_ui set to false so SEOPress doesn’t load them (there’s a filter in SEOPress to work around this).
It means currently it will not work out of the box with SEOPress.
It will required custom development to handle this.
Maybe you could try to contact their support, they may have a quick fix…
I’ve had a look over SEOPress and the fix for this needs to be done within SEOPress rather than EE.
There’s a filter (mentioned above) within SEOPress which can be used to tell it to load on Event Espresso post types however the plugin also checks for the standard WP editor route ($pagenow == 'post-new.php' || $pagenow == 'post.php') and as EE doesn’t use those, it doesn’t load.
We actually filter $pagenow on the EE editor but on the current_screen hook but the above happens before that is run. If a filter can be added to SEOPress to allow others to override that check we can give you a snippet that will allow SEOPress to load on EE events.
