    Hello,

    can you please help me how to use a non index tag for a page (search page) in Genesis sample?
    I read this: https://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/how-to-unindex-pages-from-search-engines#sm.0001gukjur9y1dzcse22rgu0gogb0 and there is written to:

    Step 1: Copy one of the following tags.
    For "noindex":
    <META NAME="robots" CONTENT="noindex">

    Step 2: Add the tag to the <head> section of your page's HTML, a.k.a. the page's header.

    What is meant by the <head> section of the page HTML? Where should it be pasted?

    I am using simple hooks by Genesis.

    Thank you in advance.
    Kind regards,

    Milada

    If you are using Genesis Simple Hooks, it goes in wp_head Hook. Be careful though to wrap this in a WordPress conditional so it only affects the targeted page, otherwise, because the wp_head hook runs for every page on your site, you will be telling the search engines not to index your site at all. https://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags

    If you are using Yoast Seo, you can set the no index flag for the targeted page directly in the Yoast Seo meta box in the page editor.

    Thank you very much for your prompt reply. The solution with Yoast SEO is handy and easy.
    However, I would like to learn how to wrap the code if I used the wp-head Hook.
    Thank you in advance.
    Regards,
