Hello,
Thank you for your response.
Unfortunately, I need those exclusions there because they are identifying confidential information specific to certain clients that I can’t have appearing in my search results. However, if multisite is what is causing the conflict with the exclusions, I believe I can remove the multisite functionality.
Each of my sub domains (sites within multisite) are simple one-page sites. So to make these more searchable, I created a post for each sub domain that will automatically redirect to the sub domain when clicked from the main site. Each post is tagged with keywords that relate to content on it’s related sub domain so essentially I’ve set it up so that my sub domains are all searchable within my main site through posts. Because of this, I think I should be able to remove the multisite functionality without compromising the search ability of those sites. Does that sound like it might work the way I think it would?
I tested this by removing all of the blogs from the multisite settings and leaving only the main site. After saving and testing the search again, I am still not receiving any results for search terms I know are tied to specific posts.
Is there a setting I am missing that would allow me to entirely disable the multisite settings that could still be causing this issue?
Best,
