Hi,
i would like to “no index” “no follow” some site of my website for privacy reasons. Specially legal notice and privacy agreement sites where my name and adress are posted. How can i do that?
Could not find an option for that. Hopefully there is a solution without a plugin, please…kind regards Jak
Hey Jak73,
Thank you for the inquiry.
You can attach a function to the wp_head hook to insert meta tags within the head element, and use the is_page conditional function to control in which pages should the meta tags render. Please check the documentations below for more info about the hook and the function.

IsmaelHi Ismael,
thanks for your reply!
Actually i’m not good at coding at all.
Could you please let me know, what tag and where i should add it.
I have just a few sites, so i could manually add these tags, if you tell me what to use, please.kind regards Jak
Hi Ismael,
actually there are just to pages on my website, which i would like to set noindex, nofollow.
Isn’t there a way to set this up, without a plugin. I don’t wan’t to use a plugin just for these two pages?Kind regards
JakHi,
Thank you for update.
You can use this code in the functions.php file.
add_action( 'wp_head', function() { global $post; if ( in_array($post->ID, array(1, 2, 3) ) ) { echo '<meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow">'; } }, 10 );The code above will add the robots meta tag if the current post or page ID is 1, 2 or 3. You can adjust this array and specify the pages where the meta tag should be added.
array(1, 2, 3)Best regards,
IsmaelHi,
Sorry about that. We have found a minor syntax error in the code above and corrected it. Please try to add it again in the functions.php file.
Best regards,
IsmaelHi Ismael,
i added the new code above to my child-theme function.php, but it seems it does not work.
Please have a look.
Kind regards Jak
Hi,
Thank you for following up.
The code is actually working, the robots meta tag is added to the page but the default meta tag is still there. Did you install an SEO plugin? Please try to set the Enfold > SEO Support > Meta tag “robots” to the second option and let your plugin set the appropriate tags.
Best regards,
IsmaelHi Ismael,
no, i did not install a seo plugin.
I tried Enfold > SEO Support > Meta tag “robots” . This removes the robot meta “index/follow” on all other pages.
The noindex/nofollow works now for selected pages.
But the robot-meta “index/follow” is now gone for every other page (i don’t have any index/follow on any other page.
Please have a look.kind regards Jak
Hi,
Thank you for the update.
We updated the filter in the functions.php file a bit. Please use this code to add the index,follow robots meta tag to the rest of the pages.
add_action( 'wp_head', function() { global $post; if ( in_array($post->ID, array(1, 2, 3) ) || is_search() || is_paged() ) { echo '<meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow">'; } else { echo '<meta name="robots" content="index, follow">'; } }, 10 );Best regards,
Ismael
