    How to allow search engines access to restricted pages

    matthew stuart Community Member

      Is there a way to allow search engines access to pages that are either restricted to members, or where certain areas are hidden from view by a php show if statement until the member has logged in?

       

      I thought about having a div with display: none; applied until the user had logged in, but I wasn't sure it that was considered to be black hat SEO.

       

      I've searched for ways, but all I seem to be finding is either allow bots access or disallow, nothing about being able to give search engines access without having to log in.

       

      Thanks.
