noindex()

Displays a noindex meta tag if required by the blog configuration.

Description

If a blog is marked as not being public then the noindex meta tag will be output to tell web robots not to index the page content. Add this to the ‘wp_head’ action.

Typical usage is as a ‘wp_head’ callback:

add_action( 'wp_head', 'noindex' );
