How do I hide the index of directory folder from Google search
Hi @hea hooi_ngoi,
Not able to see attached image but assuming that you are having "index.php" in URL and on Google search, it is appearing. If yes, then I am assuming you already removed the index.php from website URL, by doing the admin configuration setting. Now, generate the sitemap and submit it to Google.
Let me know if you need more details here. Happy to assist you.
