After the question’s update, I think that you need to set the canonical URL: add_action( ‘wp_head’, ‘cyb_search_results_canonical_URL’ ); function cyb_search_results_canonical_URL() { if( is_search() ) { $link = get_search_link(); echo ‘<link rel=”canonical” href=”‘ . esc_url( $link ) . ‘”>’; } } And your problem with duplicated content is fixed.
The function you want is get_userdata(). Since you need to do this outside the loop, the process is a little less straight-forward. The first thing you need to do is set up a variable called $curauth which is an object that you create by accessing the database by using the $_GET[] superglobal. $curauth = ( … Read more
Being excluded-cat and excluded-cat-1 the categories you want to exclude from indexing: add_action(‘wp_head’,’AS_exclude_category_from_indexing’); function AS_exclude_category_from_indexing(){ $html=””; if(has_category(‘excluded-cat’) || has_category(‘excluded-cat-1’)){ $html= “<meta name=\”robots\” content=\”noindex,follow\”>”.PHP_EOL; } echo $html; }
From codex: is_author() is a conditional tag which determines whether the query is for an existing author archive page. so it does not work for your scope. Best solution, instead of using the template file header.php is to write a function in functions.php hooking the proper action wp_head: add_action(‘wp_head’,’AS_exclude_author_from_indexing’); function AS_exclude_author_from_indexing(){ $toIndex = array(111,112,113); $user_id … Read more
You can try the wp_head hook: add_action( ‘wp_head’, ‘check_for_enviso_group_ticket’ ); function check_for_enviso_group_ticket() { if ( is_product() && ( ‘enviso_group_ticket’ == get_the_terms( get_the_ID(), ‘product_type’ )[0]->slug ) ) { echo ‘<meta name=”robots” content=”noindex,nofollow”/>’, PHP_EOL; } } or to not break your site in case the WooCommerce is disabled and the is_product() function isn’t defined: add_action( ‘wp_head’, ‘check_for_enviso_group_ticket’ … Read more
Stupid me… I have a nginx directive that set X-Robots-Tag to none for every page. I thought it was some kind of null value for the header… Now that I took some time to RTFM, I learned that none means both noindex and nofollow… So it wouldn’t let the SEO plugin do its job. Now … Read more
give an noindex in your robots.txt – Disallow: /wp-content/plugins/ and dont access the wp-content/plugins folder; also you can add an 301 redirect in your WP install via Plugin or with an extra in the htaccess
I think not. Because it’s not indexing the result page: See: <?php if (is_search()) { ?> if is Search doesn’t index or follow the page (for example to not show duplicated content). But you can remove the code if you feel you are losing views. I was reading an article about this. Even if WordPress … Read more
