Will indexing a page affect its subdirectories index meta tag ?

    Hi everyone

    I have the following page on my website (that I want it to be indexed) : example.com//college

    This page has some subdirectories like:

    example.com//college/intermediate/lessonA

    I want to set the noindex tag for  these directories .

     I use the Yoast plugin and from the settings—->content types part, set the index tag for college and disable the indexing item for the lesson content type.

    But when I check the view page source, the lessons meta tag is still index. 

    Why is this happening? Is this because the parent page (college) has the meta tag “index”?

    Hello @nanmark

    Thanks for reaching out about noindexing your content. I assume intermediate and lessonA are Custom Post Types (CPTs). If you toggle the button so that lessonA doesn’t show in search results, when you view the page source, there should be a noindex tag. Also, the associated sitemap will be removed from the sitemap index.

    It’d be helpful if you share concrete example URLs and/or screenshots so we can understand the issue better. You can use any image-sharing service like https://pasteboard.co/, https://snag.gy/, https://imgur.com/, https://snipboard.io/, or even upload the screenshot to your own website. Once you upload it to an image-sharing service, please share the link to the image here.
