Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
1. The only way to change the canonical URL of the dynamically generated paginated pages on your site is by using the following filter: https://rankmath.com/kb/filters-hooks-api-developer/#change-canonical-url. Here is a sample code:
add_filter( ‘rank_math/frontend/canonical’, function( $canonical ) {
if ( is_paged() ) {
return get_main_page_url();
} // Please change the code in this condition.
return $canonical;
});
Indexing paginated pages is not always considered a wise SEO choice. It is usually seen as a waste of crawl budget which may make some of your other pages not to be indexed if you reach your crawl budget limit
2. the text category archives seems to be generated by your theme, not Rank math. I would recommend getting in touch with your theme provider to assist you with this.
Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

Thanks,
1. At this moment my paginated pages are already indexed, so it is better use a cannonical for that instead of now use the no index option for paginated pages through rankmath right? better to first get the juice to the first page right?
2. ok thanks.
Hello,
A number of SEO enthusiasts will advice agains having a canonical pointing to your main page, however, there is no completely wrong or completely right way of doing some things when it comes to SEO. You can choose to leave them as they are or change the canonical. Here are some links you can consider going through:

You guys state Easily set up Google Analytics without using another 3rd party plugin.
But that is only for gtag.js ga.js right? not for ec.js (enhanced ecommerce)?
Thanks
