@ilyapokrov The ability to noindex
paginated archives was previously a feature in the plugin, but was removed from Yoast SEO in version 6.3. You can find more information on this here: https://yoast.com/help/how-do-i-noindex-urls/#archives and the changes in version 6.3 in this article: https://yoast.com/yoast-seo-6-3/
However, if you are wanting to noindex
the paginated pages for a category due to receiving a duplicate meta description/title issue, you can avoid having duplicate titles or meta descriptions by adding the %page%
variable to your pages. You can do so by going to SEO>Search Appearance>Content Types in your WordPress dashboard.
We also have more information on using the template variables here: https://yoast.com/help/list-available-snippet-variables-yoast-seo/
You can also filter the output of the canonical URL programmatically using the wpseo_canonical filter. We have more information on this available here, as well as some code examples using this filter here.
