Hello Elisa,
I apologize for the inconvenience you’re facing with hashtag URLs in Google Search Console. I understand that you would like to remove them and no-index them to optimize your crawl budget.
Rank Math provides options to set the no-index attribute for specific post types, pages, products, custom post types, or taxonomies. However, it doesn’t have a built-in feature to bulk no-index hashtag URLs or affiliate links without redirecting them.
To no-index specific URLs, you can follow these steps:
-
If you want to no-index all posts of a specific post type, you can configure that under WordPress Dashboard → Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta → Posts (or any other post type). Scroll down to the Post Robots Meta option and choose the No Index option. Save the changes.
-
If you want to no-index a specific post or page, you can edit the post/page and scroll down to find the Rank Math SEO settings below your post. Click on the Advanced tab and in the Robots Meta section, check the No Index checkbox. Save the changes.
Please note that these settings are applied individually and not in bulk. You would need to manually set the no-index attribute for each URL.
If you have a large number of URLs that need to be no-indexed, I recommend reaching out to our support team by replying to this ticket. They will be able to provide further assistance and guidance.
I hope this helps! If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask.
Best regards,
RankMath Support
