Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention.
Apologies for the delay as this ticket seems to have been stuck in our drafts section for some reason.
You can use and customize this filter to noindex URLs using the post ID:
add_filter('rank_math/frontend/robots', function ($robots) {
global $post;
if( $post->ID == 558){ // add the post ID and the condition from your ACF
$robots['index'] = "noindex";
$robots["follow"] = 'nofollow';
return $robots;
}
return $robots;
});
You may refer to this guide on how to add filters to your website:

Hope that helps.
Thank you.
Hello Reinelle,
Thank you for the help! That worked very well for us. Just to confirm, this solution will stop any Google crawlers from indexing these pages? I would think with the filter, the robots would only render on an actual page load. Does a bot crawler also see the noindex when it is being dynamically set in this way?
Thank you again for the help,
Josh
Hello,
Yes, the Googlebot and other crawlers will see this page as noindex because this is added when the page is loaded.
You can check the same by looking at the source code of the live page.
Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.
Very good! Thank you for confirming.
Have a wonderful day!
Josh
