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
Your Yoast SEO plugin version is outdated. If you update your plugin to the latest version, at this moment 17.2.1, your issue will be resolved. There was an issue resolved in version 4.6 that affects your version, see this github issue for details: https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/issues/6843
I would normally ask a couple clarifying questions but I don’t have the reputation to do it so let’s see if I can give you a workable solution.

As the previous code I posted didnt work for the OP, clutching at straws, we can try to obtain the same outcome using get_the_category As the OP stated he was using YOAST, i’ll wrap this function into the YOAST hook for robots. add_filter(‘wpseo_robots’, ‘yoast_no_home_noindex’, 999); function yoast_no_home_noindex($string= “”) { $term_id = get_the_category( $post->ID ); if($term_id[0]->term_id … Read more
Removing noindex posts from wp_query
Google knows what these are – you do not need to worry.
Go in your header.php and add the following snippet where you want your tag to appear: <?php if( ‘your-post-type’ === get_post_type() ){ print ‘<META NAME=”ROBOTS” CONTENT=”NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW”>’; } ?> get_post_type() will return the current post type.
function noindex_comments_pages() { global $cpage; if (!empty($cpage) && $cpage > 1) { echo ‘<meta name=”robots” content=”noindex”>’; echo “\n”; } } add_action( ‘wp_head’, ‘noindex_comments_pages’, 9 );
This won’t ever return true: if ( is_single( ‘404.php’ ) ) {} The is_single() conditional only returns true in a single blog post context. The parameter it accepts is a post ID, slug, or title. The 404.php file is a template file, not a post. Use is_404() instead: if ( is_404() ) {}
Answering my own question here: The WordPress SEO plugin provides a menu for all posts and pages, including custom post types, that includes noindex and nofollow options.
