Noindex collection page but not tagged pages

Technical Q&A
1

I am looking for the right code snippet for setting a collection page to noindex, but its tagged pages must remain indexable.

So for example:

…/collections/widget is the collection to be set to noindex

but

…/collections/widget/blue and …/collections/widget/green etc are to remain indexable

Something like the following sets every page to noindex, I have tried different variations as well.

{% if template contains ‘collection’ and canonical_url contains ‘/collections/widget’ %}

{% endif %}

but the inclusion of something like and current_tags == false breaks and nothing is set to noindex

What is the correct code to exclude the tagged pages from being set to noindex?

Hi @Garner , glad to help you with your question. I’m sure, my given answer will help to solve your problem as adding the given code below in the section

And paste code between head tag like this

{% if collection.handle == “widget” %}

{% endif %}

Hopefully, that solves your problem. If not, please let me know if you’re seeing any other issues.
