   Hello. After rummaging around in thousands of themes, i have finally found the one i like. I use thematic with the power blog child theme

   I want to remove the "noindex" attribute from category pages. Currently the source on my category pages shows <meta name="robots" content="noindex,follow" />

   Doing some research I found that in /library/extensions/header-extensions.php there is thematic_create_robots filter in which this code lives (thanks to helgatheviking)

   Now, I know i have to do something in my functions.php file in my child theme(power blog) to make this work. Any help would be appreciated.

   p.s. I am a php newbie.

   Thanks very much

   Ok, this will change the noindex, nofollow meta to index, follow on the categories.

   // remove the index and follow tags from main pages and allow categories to be indexed
   function childtheme_create_robots($content) {
   	if (thematic_seo()) {
   		if((is_home() && ($paged < 2 )) || is_front_page() || is_single() || is_page() || is_attachment()) {
   		    $content = "";
   		} elseif (is_search()) {
   		    $content = "\t";
   			$content .= "<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex,nofollow\" />";
   			$content .= "\n\n";
   		} elseif (is_category()) {
   		    $content = "\t";
   			$content .= "<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index,follow\" />";
   			$content .= "\n\n";
   		} else {
   		    $content = "\t";
   			$content .= "<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex,follow\" />";
   			$content .= "\n\n";
   		}
   	return $content;
   	}
   }
   add_filter('thematic_create_robots', 'childtheme_create_robots');

   This snippet will actually do one more thing too... It removes the "index, follow" tag from normal pages. Why? Because by default a page is already index, follow, so having it actually in the meta is redundant and just adds an extra line of code for no reason, so for cleanliness of code, I removed it.

   Thanks ScottNix. Appreciate it a lot man. I am assuming that this gets pasted in my functions.php file?
