[Plugin: WP-PageNavi] Follow, noindex implementation

When I use wp-pagenavi plugin Google suggested I have duplicate meta description.

It’s very unlikely that Google suggested you have duplicate meta description specifically because you’re using WP-PageNavi.

Either way, adding a follow, noindex meta tag on archive pages sounds like a good idea.

Hi Scribu,

All of my posts have unique meta description and so are categories. Problem comes when I have mydomain/category/page/2….so on… they show same meta description as mydomain/category/ , so I am looking to implement noindex on page/2… onwards.

May be lester can implement this….

This is outside the scope of the plugin.

Just add this code in your theme’s header.php file:

<?php if ( is_archive() and is_paged() ) { ?>
<meta name="robots" content="noindex, follow" />
<?php } ?>

Thanks, above code did not work. May be some php guru can check the syntax.

The code works. You probably didn’t insert it correctly.

Thank you so much, scribu.

It’s working like a charm. Out of all SEO plugins I used, none of them actually took care of the category/page/2 etc.. problem.

Thanks again.

Thanks man you are a star! I’m sure this is going to help lots of people affected by the Panda update.

Is there any way the code can be altered to do the same thing for tag pages 2 and onwards?
