# Manage Meta Robots

## Manage Robots globally

Go to **SEO**, **Titles & Metas**.

Browse all the tabs, and set your meta robots desired (eg: noindex, nofollow…).

If you don’t set a meta robots, **the default will be index, follow**.

In **Advanced tab**, you configure settings for your entire site.

Note that these global parameters do not override individual settings for each post.

## Manage Robots individually

**Edit** a post, a page, a custom post type or a term taxonomy.

From the **SEO metabox**, **Advanced tab**, set your **meta robots **(eg: noindex, nofollow).

**Save** the post or the term.

These settings will bypass your global settings.
