Noindex for newsletter endpoint pages

    Hi, I was able to add a robots noindex header to all MailPoet subscription pages with this code snippet:

    add_filter(
	'wp_headers',
	function( $headers ) {
		// Add noindex for feeds.
		if ( is_singular( 'mailpoet_page' ) ) {
			$headers['X-Robots-Tag'] = 'noindex, noarchive, nosnippet, follow';
		}
		return $headers;
	}
);

    However, this does not add the same header to Newsletter pages/endpoints style /?mailpoet_router&endpoint=view_in_browser&action=view&data=xxx

    Is there an easy way to detect those kind of queries or do I need to test for $_GET["mailpoet_router"]?

    UPDATE: I found that even testing for $_GET["mailpoet_router"] within a wp_headers filter does not work for these newsletter pages, so I guess that the regular WP hooks are bypassed?

    I ended up with this in my .htaccess to get the desired noindex header:

    <If "%{QUERY_STRING} =~ /mailpoet_router.*?/">
    Header set X-Robots-Tag "noindex, noarchive, nosnippet, follow"
</If>

    Yes, the “View in browser” endpoint bypasses the wp_headers filter, so you need to inject the header earlier for these pages.

    Example:

    add_filter(
    'wp_loaded',
	function () {
		if (isset($_GET["mailpoet_router"], $_GET['endpoint']) && $_GET['endpoint'] == 'view_in_browser') {
			header('X-Robots-Tag: noindex, noarchive, nosnippet, follow');			
		}
	},
	5
);
