## Code

```php
add_filter( 'wp_robots', function ( $robots ) {
    if ( empty( $robots['noindex'] ) ) {
        $robots['max-snippet']       = '-1';
        $robots['max-video-preview'] = '-1';
    }

    return $robots;

## Notes

WordPress already allows large image previews; this adds the matching text and video settings.
