Disable search engines from indexing a specific category

This tip is mainly for SEO purposes, possibly to avoid duplicate content or similar.

Disallow search engines from indexing posts in a certain category by applying this before the closing tag in header.php.
Obviously change the category number (’1′) to the category you want to disable from being indexed.

<?php if ( is_category(’1′) || in_category(’1′) ) {
echo ‘<meta name=”robots” content=”noindex”>’;
}
