Thanks.
There is no report error. I do not understand what you mean. You seem not to be understanding me. What I am saying is that I set the cart page to Noindex, Nofollow using rankmath, but when I inspect the page, it shows Noindex, Follow. Therefore the “NoFollow” is not being applied.
I already sent you the line of how it is showing up. This:
<meta name=”robots” content=”noindex, follow”>
When I should be seeing this:
<meta name=”robots” content=”noindex, nofollow”>
Why is it not applying the NoFollow directive?
Hello,
You can add the following filter on the website to set the URLs with the string cart to noindex:
add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/robots', function( $robots ) {
// Get the current page URL
$current_url = home_url( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] );
// Define the string to check for in the URL
$string_to_check = 'cart';
// Check if the current URL contains the specific string
if ( strpos( $current_url, $string_to_check ) !== false ) {
// Change the robots tag to noindex
$robots['index'] = 'noindex';
$robots['follow'] = 'nofollow';
}
// Return the modified robots array
return $robots;
});
Here’s how you can add filter/hook to your WordPress site: https://rankmath.com/kb/wordpress-hooks-actions-filters/
We hope this helps.
Thanks.
Using Code Snippets Plugin which I use for everything else, added the code to be applied everywhere, cleared cache and viewed source code on incognito window and no change.
Hello,
Could you please share a sample URL in the sensitive data section so we can check as well?
Meanwhile, please try this filter if it sets the URL to noindex and nofollow:
add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/robots', function( $robots ) {
if( is_cart() ) {
$robots['index'] = 'noindex';
$robots['follow'] = 'nofollow';
}
return $robots;
}, 99);
Looking forward to helping you.
