    Hello.
    Wordpress adds something like /?cat=-1 to the end of the URL of category pages or to the home page to indicate which page the category is on.
    I want to tag these pages with noindex.
    How can I?
    Thank you.

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention.

    You can add this filter on your site to set those URLs to noindex:

    add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/robots', function( $robots ) {
$url = home_url( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] );
if( (strpos($url,'?cat=') !== false) ) {
$robots["index"] = 'noindex';
$robots["follow"] = 'nofollow';
}
return $robots;
});

    If you’re not sure how to add this code, you can follow this guide:

    Hope that helps.
