Noindex subpages of archives when using avia builder 'blog'

Hey pageladder!

Thank you for using Enfold.

Please set the Blog on Enfold > Theme Options > Where do you want to display blog? option then go to Blog Layout panel. Set the Blog Style to “Use the advance layout builder”. We would like to check the actual website. Please post it here. Make sure that you’re running Enfold 3.0.2 on WordPress 4.0.

Cheers!

Hey!

I’m sorry but the blog is still not set as the blog page on Enfold > Theme Options > Where do you want to display blog? option. It is not being recognized as an archive or blog page.

Cheers!

Hi!

Thank you for the info.

I added this code on the functions.php file:

function add_meta_noindex(){ 

global $wp_query;

$paged = $wp_query->get( 'paged' );

if ( ! $paged || $paged < 2 )  {
return;
} else {
echo '<meta name="robots" content="noindex,follow">';
}
}
add_action('wp_head', 'add_meta_noindex', 1);

It’s not being recognized as an archive page when you set the blog to advance layout builder. I’ll ask Kriesi to take a look.

Cheers!

Hi!

The problem in this case is that due to the flexibility of the builder you are actually using a default “page” as a blog. However wordpress and other seo plugins usually dont want to prevent indexing of those pages, because most of the time they are actually not overview pages like in this case but pages with unique content that is distributed among several subpages.

I will see if there is a smart solution that I can apply but right now I am afraid you will indeed need to use the approach that Isamel suggested

Best regards,
Kriesi
