Exclude category

Hello,

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

Can you please confirm if you want a specific category to remove Schema? Or, if you want to remove Schema from all categories.

In order to exclude all categories from Schema, please head over to WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > Titles & Meta > Category > Remove Snippet data and enable that option.

If you want to remove Schema from a specific category, please try adding the following filter in your WordPress site:

add_filter('rank_math/json_ld', function ($data, $jsonld) {
    if (is_category('category-slug')) { //replace 'category-slug' with the slug of your category
        return [];
    }
    return $data;
}, 99, 2);

Here’s how you can add filter/hooks to your site:

Let us know how it goes. Looking forward to helping you.

Thank you.

Hello,

Did I make some wrong or do it need some time to take delete?

The changes should take effect instantly. As the code you’ve shared wasn’t correct properly, that didn’t work.

The code I’ve shared above, only works for a specific category. To exclude multiple categories, please replace to code above with the following one. That should work for you.

add_filter('rank_math/json_ld', function ($data, $jsonld) {
    if ( is_category( array( 'antipasti', 'contorni', 'creme', 'dolci', 'guide', 
							'primi-piatti', 'salse-e-sughi', 'secondi-piatti' ) ) ) { //add category slugs
        return [];
    }
    return $data;
}, 99, 2);

Let us know how it goes. Looking forward to helping you.

Thank you.

Hello,

You may add it anywhere in the file, but the best practice to add filters/hooks to your site is to put them at the bottom of your funcitons.php file.

Hope that helps.

Thank you.
