Where to put tags?
6 replies · Started by Philippe on November 25, 2022
Hi,
I need to use <META NAME=”ROBOTS” CONTENT=”NOARCHIVE”> for some specific posts behind a metered paying wall. The intent is to prevent people from accessing these posts through a cached Google link.
I know the tag is supposed to go in the "head" of the concerned posts. Here are my questions:
1/ How to access this darn "head"?
2/ Is it enough to just put there <META NAME=”ROBOTS” CONTENT=”NOARCHIVE”> and nothing else?
3/ The concerned posts belong to specific categories. Can the manipulation be done at the category level?
Isn't that nice to speak with an eternal newbie? :)
Thanks for your help,
Philippe
I think I am almost there.
I added a new hook in wp_head with <script> META NAME=”ROBOTS” CONTENT=”NOARCHIVE” </script> and set the display rule location according to the concerned posts' Categories.
Is the script ok?
Do I need to select the post category archive as well as a location in Display Rules?
Hi there,
1. Create a new Hook element.
2. Add your meta tag: <META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOARCHIVE">
NOTE: Do not add the <script> tags.
3. Set the Hook to wp_head
4. Set your Display Rules for the pages or posts that you require it.
HINTS:
Post Category -> Term = a Single Post of as specific category.
Post Category Archive > Term = an Archive page showing posts of a specific category.
Hi,
I do not get that:
Post Category -> Term = a Single Post of as specific category.
Post Category Archive > Term = an Archive page showing posts of a specific category.
What do you mean? That if I create a hook for a post category or a post archive category it will not be applied to each post individually in these categories?
Thanks for your help,
Philippe
Ok, lets say i have 10 posts that are all in the Category of: Cheese
If i set the display rules to:
Post Category -> Cheese.
Then the noarchive meta will be added to ALL 10 posts.
Now i also have mysite.com/category/cheese which is the archive page displaying my posts about cheese.
If want add the noarchive meta to just the archive page then i use:
Post Category Archive -> Cheese
If i want to add the noarchive meta to my Single Posts and my Archive then i would add both of those display rules.
Got it. It's the word "single" that was confusing me.
Thank you.
Aah yes, sorry i should have made that clearer :)
Glad to be of help!
