Set NOINDEX for all posts in a category - Support

Resolved

Parusing the forums, I’ve found that one can set NOINDEX by post type using the following:

/**
 * Allows filtering of the robots meta data.
 *
 * @param array $robots The meta robots directives.
 */
add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/robots', function( $robots ) {
     global $post;
     // filter for only a specific post type
     if(get_post_type() == "your_post_type_name_here"){
        $robots['index'] = "index";
        return $robots;
     }
	return $robots;
});

Is there a way to change this code (and I think I know where, just not what) to set this to disable indexing on ALL posts within a category?

Thanks

Hello,

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

I am really sorry for this late reply. Yes, you could use a code like this one:
```
/**
 * Allows filtering of the robots meta data.
 *
 * @param array $robots The meta robots directives.
 */
add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/robots', function( $robots ) {
     global $post;

     $postInCategory = false;
     foreach((get_the_category()) as $category){
        if($category->name == "category name" /* you could add more categories by modifying this if */)
        {
           $postInCategory = true;
           break;
        }
     }

     if($postInCategory == true)
     {
        $robots['index'] = "noindex";
        $robots['follow'] = "nofollow";
     }

     return $robots;
});
```
Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.
