I want to add \<meta name=“robots” content=“noindex”\> into the head tag of all the /tag & /author URLs  
I tried to add meta tags in author.hbs file in my theme but tag was under body tags.

I think the `{{block}}` and `{{contentFor}}` features of Handlebars will help here, you can see how it’s used in Casper with the footer scripts.

In your case you can add a `{{{block "header"}}}` statement before the `</head>` in `default.hbs` then in your `author.hbs` file you can add this anywhere in the file:

```auto
{{#contentFor "header"}}
<meta name="robots" content="noindex">
{{/contentFor}}

```
