Noindex all paginated pages

support

Hey. I need to close all category navigation pages. For example, I need to add noindex for the pages “/ section/page/X”

Can I do that?

I have managed to do that to the categories and tags pages via the following. This code goes into where the rest of the code is on the header.

{{ if eq .Data.Singular .Kind "tags" }}<meta name="robots" content="noindex" />{{ end }}
{{ if eq .Data.Singular .Kind "category" }}<meta name="robots" content="noindex" />{{ end }}

The problem with Pagination pages is that it needs to be done in a specific way and I am still having problem with my theme.

You can see an example from the following URL. Do let me know if you have managed to fix it.

My section is ‘blog’:

	{{ if eq .RelPermalink "/blog/" }}
	{{ if ne .Paginator.PageNumber 1 }}	<meta name="robots" content="noindex, follow">{{ end }}
	{{ if .Paginator.HasNext }}<link rel="next" href="{{ .Paginator.Next.URL }}" />{{ end }}
	{{ if .Paginator.HasPrev }}<link rel="prev" href="{{ .Paginator.Prev.URL }}" />{{ end }}
	{{ end }}

The following code works…

{{ if eq .RelPermalink "/" }}
{{ if ne .Paginator.PageNumber 1 }} <meta name="robots" content="noindex, follow">{{ end }}
{{ end }}

However, when I try to add a description to the Home Page and other pages, it does not work…

<meta name="description" content="{{if .IsHome}}{{ $.Site.Params.description }}{{else}}{{.Description}}{{end}}" />

The following HTML code is outputted…

<meta name="description" content="" />

Any idea how I can get this to work?
