Noindex Product category pages and Shop paginated pages

Hello,

I’m sorry to hear that you’re facing this issue. To noindex pagination pages for Shop and product category pages in WordPress with WooCommerce, you can use Rank Math. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Go to your WordPress Dashboard and navigate to Rank Math SEO > Titles & Meta > Misc. Pages.

2. In the Misc. Pages section, you will find the Noindex Paginated Single Pages option.

   

3. Enable this option to set noindex on paginated pages to prevent /page/2 and any other archives from showing up in the search results.

Additionally, if you want to noindex product category pages, you can use the code snippet provided by Rank Math. You can find the code snippet and instructions in the following article: How to NoIndex All Posts in a Category » Rank Math.

If you have any further questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out to our support team who are always more than happy to help.

I hope this helps!

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math support.

The Noindex Subpages and Noindex Paginated Single Pages will set all the paginated archive pages to Noindex. They will work for the categories of all post types, including the product categories and the shop page.

Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

Hello,

Thank you for your patience.

You should use the collectionPage Schema for your categories page.

However, it is not included in our predefined schemas as Rank Math automatically adds the collectionPage Schema if your page is a collection of your posts or products.

Hope that helps.
