How do I disable rankmath on 404 pages? - Support

Rank Math free

I have a custom plugin which constructs the url based on slugs of 2 different taxonomies and shows a relevant loop of posts that are in both taxonomies. The results pages are showing as 404, despite the archive displaying correctly. I was able to over write the headers in the plugin so that they are not 404, but then rankmath is overwriting my version. So I am back to “Page Not Found, noindex” and unable to index on google. So my question is: can i stop rankmath from working on 404 pages altogether or restrict it from working on pages where the url begins with a particular string, e.g. domain.com/places…?

Hello,

Thank you for contacting us.

You can use the below code to disable all the meta tags of Rank Math from any URL that contains /places/:
```
add_action( 'wp_head', 'rankmath_disable_features',1);
function rankmath_disable_features() {
    $url = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
    if( strpos($url, '/places/') ){
	remove_all_actions( 'rank_math/head');
    }
}
```
Please let us know how that goes.

Thank you.

Hi there, this didn’t seem to work – I’ve cleared cache, cleared server cache – cleared everything using the tools in rank math etc… but no joy – i placed this in the top of the functions.php file of the child theme – that’s the right place yeah?

I replaced your code with
```
<?php
add_action( 'wp_head', 'rankmath_disable_features',1);
function rankmath_disable_features() {
  if (strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], "/places/") !== false){
	remove_all_actions( 'rank_math/head');
	 }
}
?>
```
and it works, but it still stops my custom page title from working – gets replaced with just the url

Hello,

When you disable all Rank Math’s features on a certain page, your theme is now taking over in generating the title of your page.

Could you please try switching to a different theme such as the default theme “Twenty-twenty”? See if the issue goes away.

Looking forward to helping you with this one.
