How to add <noindex> to common widget

Hello,

In our search results, the content of the "ForumTopicPage" has repeated with the below content and showing metadata text:

"Join Now | Log In | Help Discussion stats 5 replies 2020-03-26, Dates, logo meta tags and breadcrumbs metadata "

 

How can I fix this?

How can I add <noindex> to common. widget (Out of the box widget)?

I tried to add <noindex> to the header page and custom components and uploaded them to the production. But Still, I am seeing the same metadata in the search results.

How to solve this issue? please help.

Thanks,

Sateesh.

    If you have access to community then you can easily remove all the previous history from google search crawled using webmaster tool https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/url-removal?pli=1 . It will only take 12 to 24 hours. to remove those synced crawl from SEO.

    To implement noindex:

    <meta> tag

    To prevent most search engine web crawlers from indexing a page on your site, place the following meta tag into the <head> section of your page:

    <meta name="robots" content="noindex">

    To prevent only Google web crawlers from indexing a page:

    <meta name="googlebot" content="noindex">

      Hi Parshant,

      Thanks for your response and suggestions.

      I have added the below <meta> into the header part.

      <meta name="robots" content="noindex">

      If I want to add a separate <noindex> to the "out of the box widget"? how can I add?

      Please let me know the process.

      Thanks,
