    Hi I have a similar issue to the following ticket – I have an archive page that is in this format and Google Search Console doesn’t like it cos it is a 400 bad request – domain.com/%listingLocation%/%listingCat%/

    I was able to remove this archive page from site map on Yoast by selecting NO in the section ‘show listing archive page in search results?’

    The following ticket issue seems the closest to what I’m experiencing as I still wanting the Listing pages to appear in search results but not the listing archive page url I have noted above. However looking at the ticket it appears I am required to write custom code that wasn’t revealed –

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention. I’m sorry for the delay and for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.

    You would need to modify this filter to target the listing archive page and set this to noindex

    /**
 * Allows filtering of the robots meta data.
 *
 * @param array $robots The meta robots directives.
 */
add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/robots', function( $robots ) {
	return $robots;
});

    However, I’ve passed your concern to our dev team to provide you an example of how to target that URL. We really appreciate your kind patience regarding this matter.

    Meanwhile, please don’t hesitate to contact us anytime to assist you further with anything else.

    Thank you.

    I have added the correct code in your theme’s functions.php Here I am sharing code with you 

    add_filter( 'rank_math/sitemap/post_type_archive_link', function ( $link ) {

 	if ( strpos( $link, '%listingLocation%' ) !== false ) {
 		return false;
 	}

	return $link;
} );
