## Code

```php
// IDs of the posts and pages to keep out of search results.
$wpide_noindex_ids = array( 0 );

add_filter( 'wp_robots', function ( $robots ) use ( $wpide_noindex_ids ) {
    if ( is_singular() && in_array( get_queried_object_id(), array_map( 'absint', $wpide_noindex_ids ), true ) ) {
        $robots['noindex'] = true;
        $robots['follow']  = true;
    }

    return $robots;
} );
```

## Notes

Add the IDs to the list. Pair it with the sitemap exclusion snippet so the pages are not listed there either.
