This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The site is using the Header Footer Code Manager to load a snippet with a noindex tag into the head of the source code for specific pages. They are trying to ensure that the translated pages on your site have the same noindex tag as the original pages. The noindex tag is present in the original page's code, but it is missing in the translated versions.
Solution:
To include the noindex tag in the translated pages using WPML, you need to modify the code in the header-footer-code-manager plugin. Follow these steps:
1. Open the
.../wp-content/plugins/header-footer-code-manager/99robots-header-footer-code-manager.php
file.
2. Locate line 550.
3. Open the .../wp-content/plugins/header-footer-code-manager/99robots-header-footer-code-manager.php file
Look for line 550
Replace:
case 's_pages':
$is_not_empty_s_pages = self::hfcm_not_empty( $scriptdata, 's_pages' );
if ( $is_not_empty_s_pages ) {
// Gets the page ID of the blog page
$blog_page = get_option( 'page_for_posts' );
// Checks if the blog page is present in the array of selected pages
if ( in_array( $blog_page, json_decode( $scriptdata->s_pages ) ) ) {
if ( is_page( json_decode( $scriptdata->s_pages ) ) || (!is_front_page() && is_home()) ) {
$out = self::hfcm_render_snippet( $scriptdata );
}
} elseif ( is_page( json_decode( $scriptdata->s_pages ) ) ) {
$out = self::hfcm_render_snippet( $scriptdata );
}
}
break;
With:
case 's_pages':
$is_not_empty_s_pages = self::hfcm_not_empty( $scriptdata, 's_pages' );
if ( $is_not_empty_s_pages ) {
// WPML workaround for compsupp-7802
$original_ids = json_decode( $scriptdata->s_pages);
foreach ( $original_ids as $original_id ) {
$translated_ids[] = apply_filters( 'wpml_object_id', $original_id, 'page');
}
// Gets the page ID of the blog page
$blog_page = get_option( 'page_for_posts' );
// Checks if the blog page is present in the array of selected pages
if ( in_array( $blog_page, json_decode( $scriptdata->s_pages ) ) ) {
if ( is_page( $translated_ids ) || (!is_front_page() && is_home()) ) {
$out = self::hfcm_render_snippet( $scriptdata );
}
} elseif ( is_page( $translated_ids ) ) {
$out = self::hfcm_render_snippet( $scriptdata );
}
}
break;
This modification ensures that the noindex tag is applied to translated pages as well.

Re 1: Yes, it is the case I think your workaround makes more than you expected (I report the implementation in PROD): The only thing to do is to update the Snippet – I do not need even to choose pages, very comfortable and reliable! Re another workaround: Last but not the least: best  |
