Are you looking for a way to output the meta content onto your date archives, tag archives, author archives, and other paginated pages? While there’s probably a plugin for this, we have created a quick code snippet that you can use to add noindex follow automatically to WordPress archives pages.
Instructions:
All you have to do is add this code to your theme’s header.php file or in a site-specific plugin:
<?php
// fix duplicate listing add noindex automatically to date, author and tag archives
if($paged > 1 || is_author() || is_tag() || is_date() || is_attachment()){
echo '<meta name="robots" content="noindex,follow" />'; }
?>
