So i have a staff section on my forum but problem is googlebot etc can see it. So people could just change their useragent to
[email protected] and get access, i can't find how to change the permissions for the bot where you normally change permissions for guests and members etc.
help please
Thanks
Doesn't googlebot show up as a guest? But what ever, just put googlebot in a group, and then be happy :p
googlebot isn't a guest and there are more bots that come every day this is a big exploit.
Admin CP --> Configuration --> Spiders/Bots
You can edit each bot and change their usergroup there. By default they are set to the unregistered usergroup which is the same as for users who aren't logged in.
