Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.
Have you tried manually changing schema of the posts to none? The following is a filter you can add to your functions.php.
/**
* Filter to remove Schema Data from Posts.
* Replace $schema_type with schema name like article, review, etc.
* @param bool $value true/false Default false
* @param array $parts Post Data
* @param array $data Schema Data
*
* @return bool
*/
add_filter( "rank_math/snippet/rich_snippet_{$schema_type}", function( $value, $parts, $data ) {
if(get_category() == "your category array/list"){
return false;
}
}, 10, 3 );
Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.
Thank you for your reply – the above code returns an error:
Fatal error: Uncaught ArgumentCountError: Too few arguments to function get_category(), 0 passed.
I used the following code:
add_filter( "rank_math/snippet/rich_snippet_article", function( $value, $parts, $data ) {
if(get_category() == "alerts"){
return false;
}
}, 10, 3 );
Hello,
I have created an improved version of the snippet, in this case it will check it is in a valid post with categories set and will check each one (their slugs) to see if they match the slug you set:
add_filter( "rank_math/snippet/rich_snippet_article", function( $value, $parts, $data ) {
$postCategories = get_the_category();
if(!empty($postCategories){
foreach( $postCategories as $postCategory ) {
echo $category->term_id . ', ' . $category->slug . ', ' . $category->name . '<br />';
if($postCategory->slug == "add here the category slug"){
return false;
}
}
}
}, 10, 3 );
Looking forward to help you.
Thank you – I was able to get it working now. Here’s the code I used in case someone else comes across this question in the future:
This will hide the ‘article’ schema for the parent category listed in the conditional.
add_filter( "rank_math/snippet/rich_snippet_article", function( $value, $parts, $data ) {
$postCategories = get_the_category();
if(!empty($postCategories)) {
if($postCategories[0]->slug != "PARENT CATEGORY SLUG HERE") {
return false;
}
}
}, 10, 3 );
