Rank Math free

hi
I’m trying to remove the rel=next link from my WordPress homepage but keep it on other pages. I’m currently using Rank Math for my SEO management.

I understand Rank Math might not directly control this functionality, but I wanted to check if there are any settings or known conflicts that might be causing the rel=next link to appear on the homepage even when I don’t want it.
My website URL is: https://allperfect.co/

If there’s no way to achieve this through Rank Math settings, could you please advise on any alternative recommendations?

Rank Math free

Dear Rank Math Support,

Thank you for the provided instructions on how to remove the rel=next link from my homepage. I followed the steps carefully and added the code snippet to my theme’s functions.php file. However, unfortunately, the rel=next link is still present on the homepage.

To help diagnose the issue further, here’s some additional information:

I confirmed I saved the changes to the file after adding the code snippet.
I cleared my website cache after making the changes ( total cache ).
I checked the source code of my homepage and verified the rel=next link is still present.
Is there anything else I can try to troubleshoot this issue, or perhaps an alternative approach using Rank Math’s settings that I might have missed?

Thank you again for your assistance.

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.

In this case, you may use and customize this filter to remove the rel=next in the page’s source code (replace the former with this):
```
/**
 * Allows developers to handle rel="next" / rel="prev" by themselves.
 *
 * @param bool $links_generated Whether or not to handle rel="next" / rel="prev" links.
 */
add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/disable_adjacent_rel_links', '__return_true' );
```
And here’s a guide to adding the filter to your website:

Hope that helps.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

We checked your homepage but were not able to find the adjacent links there:

However, in order to remove the adjacent links from your homepage, you should use the following filter:
```
add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/disable_adjacent_rel_links', function( $remove ) {
    if ( is_front_page() || is_home() ) {
        return true;
    }
    return $remove;
});
```
Here’s how you can add filter/hook to your WordPress site: https://rankmath.com/kb/wordpress-hooks-actions-filters/

Looking forward to helping you.

Thank you.
