How to noindex locations category

Hello,

Thank you so much for getting in touch and bringing your concern to our attention.

If you are referring to “noindexing” the global settings for your RM location, you can do so in the Titles & Meta settings.

Please navigate to Rank Math > Titles & Meta > RM Locations and under the “RM Locations Robots Meta” option, ensure that the robots meta settings are set to noindex:

The Locations KML will still be active even if the RM Location pages are set to noindex but please note that you are hiding the actual pages of the locations from the Search Engine so this may give Google some difficulty to discover the locations from your website and their schemas.

Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need my assistance with anything else.

Hello,

I’ve checked your site, and it seems that you’re using Rank Math PRO but the account you have used to open this ticket is the Rank Math free version.

Can you please search and forward a receipt from FastSpring.com or the email address you used to purchase so we can locate your account and verify it?

Please note that we don’t offer support for nulled or cracked plugins as we explain here: https://rankmath.com/kb/rank-math-pro-nulled/

Regarding the issue, controlling the robots meta for the locations page in Titles & Meta will also affect the archive page of your locations.

In this case, you can use this filter to set the locations page only to noindex:

add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/robots', function( $robots ) {
	if(is_archive('location')) {
	$robots['index'] = 'noindex';
	$robots['follow'] = 'nofollow';
	}
	return $robots;
});

Here is how to add a filter to your site: https://rankmath.com/kb/wordpress-hooks-actions-filters/

Hope that helps.

Thank you.

Hello,

I’ve added the email address of the Rank Math PRO on your account in the sensitive data section.

In this case, we can merge both of your accounts so you can consolidate all of them into a single account. Please confirm which is your preferred email address in the sensitive data section and we will do the needful.

Looking forward to helping you.

Thank you.

Hello,

Thank you for your patience.

We have merged your accounts as requested.

Please check on your end if everything is working as expected.

Please go through this video tutorial that shows you how to get started with your PRO license:

Steps to be followed:
1. Ensure that you are logged in to your paid account
https://rankmath.com/my-account/edit-account/

2. Disconnect and reconnect your account from inside WordPress:

WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > Dashboard > Help and click the connect/disconnect and then the connect button.

You will be taken to RankMath.com again where you can connect your account to activate your license.

You do not need to remove the free version of the plugin. Everything will be ported over to the PRO version.

Also, please ensure that there are no Ad-Blockers installed in your browser, or your website is excluded in order to ensure a smooth experience with Rank Math PRO.

Hope that helps.

Thank you.
