How to create posts for some devices?

    Having an online gaming site, I could add games that are only available for desktop or mobile, but I’m limited in adding games that run on both devices.

    Unfortunately this situation prevents us from inserting games with high traffic. I had thought about the AMP plugin, but I have 14 incompatible plugins and the performance improvement was either no or very slight.

    So I came here to know if there are any other methods to resolve the situation. A solution similar to tags would be fine, where desktop games are only shown to those who use the desktop and other devices do not see the game. If they copied the URL of the desktop game, they would receive the 404 code. At the moment if I have a 404 code there is a redirect to the homepage, but in this exception it would be better to redirect to the 404 page.

    Hello,

    To block access to specific directories or content on your website based on user agents, including desktop or mobile users, you can utilize the robots.txt file. However, please note that blocking content solely based on user agents is not recommended by Google and may impact your search traffic.

    If you still wish to proceed with blocking access to games for mobile users, you can add specific rules to your robots.txt file. Here is an example of how you can disallow access to a specific directory for all user agents:

    User-agent: *
Disallow: /games/

    By adding this rule to your robots.txt file, any user agent (including mobile) attempting to access the “/games/” directory will receive a 404 error.

    For more detailed instructions on how to edit your robots.txt file with Rank Math SEO, you can refer to the guide here.

    If you need further assistance or have any other questions, feel free to ask. Thank you for reaching out!

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting us and bringing your concern to our attention.

    Unfortunately, this kind of setting is not possible by using Rank Math. You can try to use a plugin like Content Control to see if that works for you.

    Or, you can hire any WordPress developer to make these modifications on your website.

    Hope that helps and please don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any other questions.
     
    Thank you.
