Noindex Paginated Pages – Canonical

Hi Guys,

I found another thread asking similar, but I’ve noticed if “Noindex Paginated Pages”, the canonical / next and previous tags are removed.

On the other thread you mentioned something like this :

add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/canonical', function( $canonical ) {
if ( is_paged() ) {
return get_term_link();
}

return $canonical;
});

To add the canonical, but doesnt seem to be working.

Ideally id like to have Noindex Paginated pages, with next / previous elements as the pages are still followed even if they are no-indexed. Then the canonical set to the First page of the series in both WP categories and Woocommerce categories.

Any help would be great
