Hi I found "Default robots meta tag" in configuration of sh404.
Do I understand this correct: If I enter NO INDEX, NO FOLLOW every url will be set NO INDEX, NO FOLLOW unless I change the urls individually which I want to have different robots tag?
Will this work also on existing URLS if I add this to configuration?
Thx, Lena
PS: Why is "max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1" set in my configuration? I don't know this as default robots meta tag.

This is the current and valid default meta tags that should be used on all pages. Do not change that. "index,follow" is NOT the correct default meta tag to use on normal pages.

Yes, this is what will happen. Why would you want to do that? Setting noindex, nofollow as the default is obviously very dangerous.
Will this work also on existing URLS if I add this to configuration?
The default value will be changed for all URLs, including existing. However if you already added a per-url robots tag, this of course will be applied.

I want most of my sites not to be listed in search engines. It would take a lot of time to explain. But I try it in short. Users are able to set up a Sedcard and I don't want google or any other engine to index those sedcards. I will have thousands of Sedcards and due to GPDR I would have a lot of work getting the sedcards out of the engines and cache of engines when users delete their profile...so I decided not to let the engines crawl the Sedcards.
Is there a way to change the "Default robots meta tag" directly in the database? I am facing a problem on my website (not only in sh404) everytime I want to make changes to the configuration.
What would I have to add the to have it NO INDEX, NO FOLLOW? Will I have write:
keep max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1, NO INDEX, NO FOLLOW ?
Thx, Lena
Hi
No, if you really want to keep search engines away, the right thing to do is just use a single line in your robots.txt file. That's all and the most efficient way to do it.

This way I already tried it and it’s indexing anyway but without meta data – This is also to be find in hundreds of tutorials on google that google is indexing it anyway.

Hi

They will index the URLs, ie not the content, if they find them by some other ways. So indeed if they found the direct links somewhere, they'll still read them and the URL will be indexed (again, not the content). Which means that URL will likely not be displayed in search results because, well, it does not have any content.
That said, meta tag is of course more efficient for that purpose. Note also that for those pages that already exists and are indexed, the removal will require that pages are crawled again before the meta can take effect.
