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() ) {}

The E flag is being used for LiteSpeed as opposed to ENV for Apache. Where did you get this from? The LiteSpeed docs appear to show that LiteSpeed is the same as Apache in this respect and require env=, not E=, on the Header directive in order to conditionally set the HTTP response header based … Read more
Ooohhh you mean “pagination” pages. Gotcha now! It’s hard to say for sure(I know I know), but at first glance it looks like this block of code would be what you’re after: if ( $wp_query->query_vars[‘paged’] && $wp_query->query_vars[‘paged’] > 1 && isset( $options[‘noindex-subpages’] ) && $options[‘noindex-subpages’] ) { $robots[‘index’] = ‘noindex’; $robots[‘follow’] = ‘follow’; } }
