Does anyone know of a way to add no follow to just the comments page itself in 2.7.1 I have tried every plugin out there and can’t find the answer. I don’t want a duplicate url. A comment url adds the word respond to the url like this http://www.staticbrain.com/archive/google-free-411-call-1-800-goog-411/#respond
it also is adding urls with comments at the ends like this

I need a hack to fix it. Even platinum seo plugin wont work for it. This is depressing. If anyone can help me please let me know. Thanks.

I believe the code should be if($paged > 1), rather than $pages. Thanks for the tip!

oops, can’t post the code in the echo. Basically it is a meta-robots-noindex tag.

Here’s one I just came across for no-indexing your page 2, 3, 4 (0ff of home page). Add it to header.php

if(is_home()){
if ($pages>=2) {
echo ”;
}
}

Now your next-previous links, or if you are using pagination, will flow link juice to these deeper pages but only the post page itself gets indexed. I use no-index on archives and categories too.

@Peter – search for nofollow_the_category instead (without the ()). It’s at the bottom there.

Zack, you’re the man!

Did you perhaps forget to update the .txt file on your website? I searched the document for nofollow_the_category() but didn’t find anything?

@Peter – I’ve added the functions you will need to the bottom of the file (mainly nofollow_the_category()). Enjoy!

PS – To post code in comments, you need to format it so that > is > and < is <, and for good measure, wrap the entire code in tags.

Err I just realized you can’t post code….basically the structure would be:

[Post Title]
[The Date] by [The Author] – Filed under [The Category]

I haven’t found any simple solutions yet
