Block short URL in robots.txt

Question

We have example.com/article-page-one/
This page has a short URL in Wordpress like this : example.com/?p=1
In this page we put short URL for users.
What will happen if we block short URL?
The robots.txt file will be like this:
disallow: /*?p=*
Will example.com/article-page-one/ de-indexed form Google?

Answer 1

The pretty URL version will not be affected by Google if you remove the one with the ? in it.

That said I posit you would be better off doing a 301 (permanent) redirect to the pretty URL and I suspect that ove4 time Google will de-index the variant with the ?.
