  • Hi Friends,

    I found a solution of this problem. please check it out below link.
    https://seowebsitedesigning.com/disable-adding-noodp-meta-robots-tag-in-yoast-plugin/

    Not to dig up an old thread, but I am finding many folks think including “noodp” is another noindex attribute, and that is far from the truth. I try to explain on my blog why this value is a good thing: https://angelo.mandato.com/2016/07/04/true-meaning-meta-robots-content-equals-noodp/

    As far as the default behavior in Yoast’s plugin, it is justified. If you spend the time to write a description, why do you want someone else’s description of your webpage from the Open Directory Project to be a possibility for the search engine to display?

    For those still confused, these are the equivalent:

    <meta name=”robots” content=”noodp” />
    and
    <meta name="robots" content="index, follow, noodp"/>

    @tacoverdo: Look at line 1886 in inc/class-frontend.php

    The real solution is to change from

    $this->options[‘noodp’] === false

    to

    $this->options[‘noodp’] === true

    and the final code will be

    private function add_robot_content_noodp( $description ) {
    if ( ! ( empty( $description ) ) && $this->options[‘noodp’] === true ) {
    $this->options[‘noodp’] = true;
    }
    }

    In this way you can use “Force noodp meta robots tag sitewide” option into WP-ADMIN / Yoast plugin / Titles & Metas / Other tab to switch on or off the noodp content.

    Hello

    Im using 4.4.5 WordPress with the Yost PluhIn Version 3.5. Since a few days my website has this tag <meta name=”robots” content=”noodp”/> and I would like to set it back to <meta name=”robots” content=”INDEX, FOLLOW” />. Could somebody help me and show me how to change the meta tag

    Thank you
