Tag pages stuck on noindex, follow

    A while back I decided to noindex my tag pages. However, about a week ago I decided I wanted to have them indexed (after making changes to the way to run the site). I was checking Google earlier and saw no tag pages indexed yet.

    Even though “noindex, follow” us unchecked in Taxonomies > Tags

    i.e. /wp-admin/admin.php?page=wpseo_titles&settings-updated=true#top#taxonomies

    And cache flushed, Yoast SEO is still adding noindex.

    Bit of source:

    <!– This site is optimized with the Yoast WordPress SEO plugin v1.4.19 – http://yoast.com/wordpress/seo/ –>
    <meta name=”robots” content=”noindex,follow”/>

    Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug? Is there a switch on the database I can “press” to get these pages indexed?

    Hi there,
    I’m new to all of this but slowly learning about html, css, SEO etc. I’m also using Yoast SEO on WordPress 3.8 and I would like to insert <meta name=”robots” contents=noindex,follow”/> just for a few pages so they don’t get indexed. I’m a bit confused because I changed these specific pages to private thinking they wouldn’t come up in Google anymore BUT they still are. So then I went to edit the individual page by pressing on the code button and then inserting <meta name…> (as above) thinking that might work but it didn’t. So then…I started looking it up. Many posts talked about going to settings, privacy etc. but my dashboard doesn’t have this. I am using version 3.8 and I am using the theme goodlayers and using Yoast SEO. Can anyone help me?
