    Hi Team,
    I’m using Rank Math plugin and it turns to be best and light-weight!
    I’ve to remove canonical tag from certain post IDs ONLY.

    I found few posts on WordPress support and Rank Math site but they were related to removing canonical URLs from entire site or category/tag. So I could not find the right solution.

    I tried to use custom function like:

    if( is_single( array( 3861, 4006, 4027, 4010 ) ) ) {
		return false;

    and this too:

    add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/canonical', function( $canonical ) {
        // Disable canonical
        $canonical = false;
	return $canonical;
}); 
    add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/canonical', function( $canonical ) {
        //target a page using its page id
        if(is_page('page_id')){
            return false;
        }
	return $canonical;
});

    but couldn’t combine above to get canonical URL tag removed for certain Post ids ONLY.
    I mean canonical should remain active on entire site, but disable on certain posts.

    Could you kindly help in providing the exact function.

    Hello,

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

    You can use the following filter to disable the canonical tag for the specific posts:

    /**
 * Allow changing of the canonical URL.
 *
 * @param string $canonical The canonical URL.
 */
add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/canonical', function( $canonical ) {
	
	if (is_single ( array( 21, 22, 23, 24) )) {
        $canonical = false;
	
} 
return $canonical;

});

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