Overview
This simple and lightweight plugin adds a “Hide from search engines” checkbox above the publish box to pages. By
ticking this box, a meta tag will be placed into the <head> section of your page specifying that robots should
not index the page.
By default this only applies to pages. You may extend this functionality to posts or other custom post types with a small bit of code. See the FAQ’s tab for further instructions.

gem of a plugin
by webgalway·5 years ago
exactly what I was looking for, my thanks to the developer.
Does not work for blog posts, no answers in support forum
by Marc Bijl·7 years ago
It works for regular pages, however, it doesn’t for blog posts. Issues/support threads are not answered, worse: are closed without answering.
Perfect!

Simple to use and does exactly what it says. Definitely 5 stars. My only question is (I’m new to this stuff): Is it safe to be using such an old plugin? Even though I know it wouldn’t need updates for the functionality, is using this plugin going to make my site unsafe or does it need updates simply for security reasons? Thanks!
One thing it does, it does!

I have All In One SEO, and Jet Pack and these do not show up on the pages with the code, cannot find them doing a search for “noindex”
With NoIndex Pages, it’s there!!! Thanks

Booya. Does exactly what it says on the tin. Read the code, it’s clean and simple. Love it.
