Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.
You could use some custom code in your functions.php file to set custom robots in Rank Math for URLs matching a pattern, this would be the hook:
/**
* Allows filtering of the robots meta data.
*
* @param array $robots The meta robots directives.
*/
add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/robots', function( $robots ) {
return $robots;
});

Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.
Dear Alberto,
Thank You very much for such a quick reply.
Unfortunately, I’m not pro in creating filters.
Is there any simpler solution?
Hello,
There is a simpler way to disallow bots from seeing when you have a particular URL pattern.
You can go to WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > General Settings > Edit Robots.txt and add the following text in there:
User-Agent: *
Disallow: /*?et_blog*
Disallow: /?et_blog*
That will prevent bots from seeing and hopefully not indexing all URLs that contain et_blog in them.
Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
Thank you, Todd!
Have a good day.
