robots meta noindex not working for Home page paginated posts

    Hi,

    The robots meta noindex setting doesn’t appear to be working for Home page paginated posts that use index.php.

    Under plugin “Robots Meta Settings,” I have “Apply noindex to every second or later archive page?” ticked, and for example.com/2023/ archive pages, etc., I do see that the metatag includes noindex.

    But for paged Home posts, when using WordPress>Settings>Readings>Your homepage displays>Your homepage displays, I don’t get a noindex in the metatag on example.com/page/2, and on and on.

    Any ideas? Thanks

    Howdy!

    There is a separate option for this feature on the homepage. You can find it at “SEO Settings > Homepage Settings > Robots > Homepage Pagination Robots Settings.”

    I thought I added a disclaimer for the option (“This option does not affect the homepage; it uses a different one.”), but I recalled that incorrectly: I only added that for “Title > Additions > Site Title Location.” I’ll add it to the Robot Meta Settings in the next update. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

    Let me know if this helps ?? Cheers!
