    I would like to know how to exclude the following sites such as

    …. / page / 67

    These are intermediate pages that Wordpres automatically creates with regard to the pagination below. in the google search they appear in the rich cards, so just with the numbers 122, 98 … etc.
    Looks very ugly and is functionally a disaster. I am through all functions and know how to exclude posts, categories, pages …, only these intermediate pages I can’t manage.

    “Previous pages” is also displayed in my rich cards.

    Thank you in advance.

    Many greetings

    @matze112 We understand you want to noindex paginated archives.

    Unfortunately, there is no option in the Yoast plugin to add noindex to paginated archives.

    According to Google, adding noindex on a page long-term will lead to them not following links on that page. More recent statements imply that if a page isn’t in their index, the links on it and from it can’t be evaluated at all.

    We usually do not recommend adding noindex to page 2 and further on paginated archives since it might lead to content getting the internal links they need. Because of what Google said about this, in Yoast SEO 6.3 we removed the option to add noindex to subpages of archives and you can read more about this here: Pagination & SEO: Best Practices.

    However, if you still want to noindex paginated archive pages, you can use the filter located here: https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/issues/6310#issuecomment-268838291 You or your developer can customize it to your needs to only affect product category archives. You may also get in touch with your theme developer for further guidance.
