Hi @amboutwe
I have that kind of filter issue found in my search console, how I can solve the following filter issue?
https://fatimafurniture.ae/product/austin-study-table-with-bookshelf-in-azure-blue/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium...
https://fatimafurniture.ae/product-category/metal-furniture/?orderby=date
https://fatimafurniture.ae/product-category/new-arrival/?orderby=price-desc
https://fatimafurniture.ae/product-category/tv-unit/?orderby=price
https://fatimafurniture.ae/product-category/l-shape-sofa/?orderby=rating
https://fatimafurniture.ae/shop/page/23/
https://fatimafurniture.ae/product-category/sales/page/2/?orderby=popularity
Due to these issues, I have many errors in my google search console.
kindly reply with a code here where I can set all filters "Noindex and no follow"

Hi all.
I also want to share my results.
You need to understand that WordPress itself changes the robot meta tag name='robots'.
First, disable all affected plugins and check.
To influence WordPress you need to use a filter wp_robots
Below is an example for a search results page:
<?php
add_filter('wp_robots', 'my_wp_robots_directives');
function my_wp_robots_directives( $robots ) {
if ( is_search() ) {
unset( $robots['max-image-preview'] );
unset( $robots['noindex'] );
$robots['index'] = true;
return $robots;
}
}
?>
But if you turn on Yoast SEO, it will fix this tag as it sees fit, according to Google's recommendations. Filter wpseo_robots
<?php
add_filter( 'wpseo_robots', 'yoast_seo_robots_remove_search' );
function yoast_seo_robots_remove_search( $robots ) {
if ( is_search() ) {
return null;
}
}
?>
return false; does not work
return null; works
so the examples above might not work for you.
Thank you a lot @amarilindra and @ws256.
To bad this function is not built in in Yoast. I totally agree @tomybyte, it's always very dangerous to update Yoast. I, for that reason, don't like the plugin, but it's still standard for SEO.
Hi there, I need some help. We have Yoast installed on our website and I need to add a noarchive to the WP Fusion restricted posts. The condition is definately working . I tested the condition with an echo statement and it does add the ", noarchive" to the $robots string, but it does not update the robot. We can add the noarchive manually to the posts, but we need to automate it to ensure that it is present when there is a restriction on the post. What would the reason be for it not updating the robot?
add_filter('wpseo_robots', 'add_noarchive_directive');
function add_noarchive_directive($robots) {
global $post;
$post_id = $post->ID;
// Check if the current post is restricted for the user
if (wp_fusion()->access->get_post_access_meta( $post_id )['lock_content'] ) {
// Add 'noarchive' directive if the condition is met
$robots .= ', noarchive';
}
return $robots;
}
Just a warning to anyone using these code snippets to remove the Yoast generated robots tag... before Yoast 19.8, the wpseo_robots filter removed the robots tag when the filter returned false, as shown in a few of the snippets above. But it appears the following PR changed that behaviour to add noindex, nofollow instead of removing the tag. Yoast/wordpress-seo#18488 This change is a major issue for SEO purposes on any site that thought they were removing the robots tag by returning false, as those sites/pages will be noindex,nofollow instead, as of Yoast 19.8. I can;t help but think this was an oversight on Yoast developers. I can't understand why they would change the behaviour of returning false from "don't show the robots tag" to "show a noindex,nofollow robots" tag.
@LoganStrike Thanks for bringing this up again. I updated the code to remove the robots output. The first removes the Yoast changes and the second one removes the WordPress robots output. Use together to remove the robots meta tag completely.
Could you test the new code and let me know how it works in a real-world environment, preferably a non-production site?
@amboutwe The updated code works in my tests. May I recommend also updating yoast_seo_robots_remove_search.php and yoast_seo_robots_remove_single.php?
@LoganStrike Done!
@amarilindra Thank you!
