Override global noindex settings

beatkoeck · 3 weeks ago

Hey,

for a subdomain we defined noindex globally in the page settings (header html).

For one single page, we'd like to override these settings and put the meta-tag index in the header instead.

How could we do this?

If I'm undestanding you correctly you've added something like:

<meta name="robots" content="noindex">

to your Settings under Website>Pages>Templates>Site header HTML, is that correct?

Rather than adding that there I'd suggest adding something like the below to your themes base.html file (within the <head></head> tags):

{% boolean "no_index" label="Don't Index Page", value=true, no_wrapper=True %}
 {% if widget_data.no_index.value == "true" %}
  <meta name="robots" content="noindex">
    {% endif %}

That way the it should be included by default but you would be able to toggle it off on any page you didn't want it on.

Hi Barry,

thanks for your answer.

My preferred way would be the opposite. It should be no-index by default and only index on single pages.

Could we change your code like this?

{% boolean "index" label="Index this Page", value=true, no_wrapper=True %}
 {% if widget_data.index.value == "true" %}
  <meta name="robots" content="index">
    {% endif %}
