The code above is outdated, but I figured out the current way to modify meta robots: // Add noindex to terms/privacy/contact pages function my_robots() { if (is_page(array(45,142,56))) { //terms,privacy,contact echo '<meta name="robots" content="noindex,follow" />'; } else { echo '<meta name="robots" content="index,follow" />'; } } add_filter('thematic_show_robots', 'my_robots'); bigtoe on "Help with thematic_create_robots custom filter please. :)" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/help-with-thematic_create_robots-custom-filter-please#post-12422 Sun, 16 May 2010 16:29:44 +0000 bigtoe 12422@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ Figured it out. Looks like is_paged() doesn't work standing on its own and needs another conditional with it. And I'm just guessing. Thanks for playing wheel of fortune. Pasting my filter below so anybody else who wants to copy/use/modify/analyze/obfuscate/clean up/comment/study/port to assembly/delete/discuss it can do so. <pre><code>function childtheme_create_robots() { if((is_home() && !is_paged()) || (is_front_page() && !is_paged()) || is_single() || is_attachment()) { $content .= "<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index,follow\" />\n\n"; } elseif (is_search()) { $content .= "<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex,nofollow\" />\n\n"; } else { $content .= "<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex,follow\" />\n\n"; } return $content; } add_filter('thematic_create_robots', 'childtheme_create_robots');</code></pre> bigtoe on "Help with thematic_create_robots custom filter please. :)" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/help-with-thematic_create_robots-custom-filter-please#post-12371 Fri, 14 May 2010 02:31:12 +0000 bigtoe 12371@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ Please sir, may I have some help. So I gave this another shot, but apparently I suck. Here's what I got, and I'm still getting "index,follow" on "example.com/page/3" etc URLs. I need "noindex,follow". <pre><code>function childtheme_create_robots() { if(is_front_page() || is_single() || is_attachment()) { $content .= "<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index,follow\" />"; } elseif (is_search()) { $content .= "<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex,nofollow\" />"; } elseif (is_paged()) { $content .= "<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex,follow\" />"; } else { $content .= "<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex,follow\" />"; } return $content; } add_filter('thematic_create_robots', 'childtheme_create_robots');</code></pre> Where did I mess up? bigtoe on "Help with thematic_create_robots custom filter please. :)" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/help-with-thematic_create_robots-custom-filter-please#post-12118 Wed, 05 May 2010 05:54:39 +0000 bigtoe 12118@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ Still can't figure this out. Anybody got a minute? Been cracking my head for hours. Do I need to modify this ((is_home() && ($paged < 2 ))or is there some other statement I can add to the filter? Something like <pre><code>elseif "/page/" { $content .= "<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex,follow\" />"; }</code></pre> I tried reversing the < sign, and a bunch of other things that got me syntax errors, but it ended up putting noindex on the front page. Yikes. Wish I were decent at php, but it makes my brain hurt. bigtoe on "Help with thematic_create_robots custom filter please. :)" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/help-with-thematic_create_robots-custom-filter-please#post-12093 Tue, 04 May 2010 19:32:36 +0000 bigtoe 12093@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ Hi Chris. Thanks for the reply. I did the the following, and I'm still showing "index,follow" for everything in /paged/ from the front page unfortunately. No idea what I'm doing wrong. Here's what I have. <pre><code>function childtheme_create_robots() { global $paged; if((is_home() && ($paged < 2 )) || is_front_page() || is_single() || is_attachment()) { $content .= "<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index,follow\" />"; } elseif (is_search()) { $content .= "<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex,nofollow\" />"; } else { $content .= "<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex,follow\" />"; } return $content; } add_filter('thematic_create_robots', 'childtheme_create_robots');</code></pre> Hopefully it's a simple fix.

I'm trying to modify a "thematic_create_robots" filter and it's not going well. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would like to make <a href="http://example.com/page/2" rel="nofollow">http://example.com/page/2</a> and all those paged URLs have a "noindex,follow" robots meta tag, basically, the entire /page/ dir. I tried messing around with the ((is_home() && ($paged < 2 )) bits, and it's not working, probably because I'm not very good with php. Do I need to create another elseif statement, and how? I don't have any SEO plugins installed, and would like to do this with the filter. Here's what I have in functions.php for your reference. Thanks in advance. <pre><code>function childtheme_create_robots() { if((is_home() && ($paged < 2 )) || is_front_page() || is_single() || is_attachment()) { $content .= "<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index,follow\" />"; } elseif (is_search()) { $content .= "<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex,nofollow\" />"; } /* elseif (is_page('about-me') { $content .= "<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex,follow\" />"; } */ else { $content .= "<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex,follow\" />"; } return $content; } add_filter('thematic_create_robots', 'childtheme_create_robots');</code></pre> With the above, I get "index,follow" for everything in /paged/
