Feed pages and tag pages

Hello,

I’m sorry to hear that you’re facing issues with your site. To stop your site from creating feed pages and tag pages, you can follow these steps:

To Stop Feed Pages:

1. Go to WP Dashboard → Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta → Global Meta.
2. Look for the option to Noindex Empty Category and Tag Archives.
3. Enable this option to prevent empty category and tag pages from being indexed.

To Prevent Tag Pages:

1. Ensure that your tag pages have enough content to avoid being treated as soft 404 errors by Google.
2. Add unique, well-written content to your tag pages.
3. Avoid duplicating content from other pages on your site.

If you have a lot of tag pages with thin or duplicate content, consider no-indexing them to improve your site’s overall quality.

I hope these steps help resolve the issues you’re facing with feed and tag pages on your site. If you have any further questions or need assistance, feel free to ask.

Thank you for reaching out!

Hello,

To disable your feeds, add the following code to your website:

/**
 * Display a custom message instead of the RSS Feeds.
 *
 * @return void
 */
function rm_snippet_disable_feed() {
	wp_die(
		sprintf(
			// Translators: Placeholders for the homepage link.
			esc_html__( 'No feed available, please visit our %1$shomepage%2$s!' ),
			' <a href="' . esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ) . '">',
			'</a>'
		)
	);
}

// Replace all feeds with the message above.
add_action( 'do_feed_rdf', 'rm_snippet_disable_feed', 1 );
add_action( 'do_feed_rss', 'rm_snippet_disable_feed', 1 );
add_action( 'do_feed_rss2', 'rm_snippet_disable_feed', 1 );
add_action( 'do_feed_atom', 'rm_snippet_disable_feed', 1 );
add_action( 'do_feed_rss2_comments', 'rm_snippet_disable_feed', 1 );
add_action( 'do_feed_atom_comments', 'rm_snippet_disable_feed', 1 );
// Remove links to feed from the header.
remove_action( 'wp_head', 'feed_links_extra', 3 );
remove_action( 'wp_head', 'feed_links', 2 );
