The tag page is set by default by xenforo to noindex, but google indexes tag pages anyway. How to set noindex for tags correctly so that Google doesn't index them?

Block Search Indexing with noindex | Google Search Central | Documentation | Google for Developers

A noindex tag can block Google from indexing a page so that it won't appear in Search results. Learn how to implement noindex tags with this guide.

Important! For the noindex directive to be effective, the page must not be blocked by a robots.txt file. If the page is blocked by a robots.txt file, the crawler will never see the noindex directive, and the page can still appear in search results, for example if other pages link to it.

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html> <html><head> [B]<meta name="robots" content="noindex" />[/B]
