UPD: I’ve noticed just now on another iteration that those pages get “Excluded” status.
But still, why they are in the total? Maybe you could output excluded total URLs amount or just the total URLs amount without excluding URLs.

Thanks.

Thank you for your response.
While I was awaiting, I’ve tested Yoast plugin and it shows better:

1. it has no such bug
2. there is meta titles and meta descriptions for taxonomies in free version
3. there is less features I need to manage with custom code

So we just moved to Yoast plugin.
Sorry.

Maybe is there a paid solution or plugin?

UPD2: one more request

UPD: seems found the some clues here, but maybe is there some ready solutions in public view?

UPD: I’ve tested my configuration with Yoast SEO plugin and Polylang string translations works like a charm, but I don’t want to switch the plugin.

Waiting for plugin’s authors reply.
Thanks.

@arnaudbroes Thanks, I got now how robots and options works.
Thanks.

About the description – this is the way I’ve used to be sure that new settings won’t brake anything.

Thanks.

@arnaudbroes I’m talking NOT about the format. I’m about the field for THE ITEM (on the category page – it’s not even activated because of NOT a pro version of the plugin).

So my idea is: if it’s not a PRO version of the plugin and we can’t set the description for the category main page – it shouldn’t output description on 2 and others pagination pages.

About the robots: for this type of taxonomy (category) in Search Appearance > Taxonomies Tab -> Categories block -> Advanced Tab there is checked option “Use defaults”.

In Search Appearance > Advanced Tab there is a (first checkbox) option “Common meta robots” (aioseo-robots-meta field name, because I’ve got russian language in admin and can’t say the original option name) and it’s checked.

The issue: i need all the pagination pages remove noindex, nofollow and manage them as I need. Now all the archives works like a charm. Categories got noindex, nofollow. Maybe I would need noindex, follow. How do I set it?

Thanks.

There was no such a mistake in version <!-- All in One SEO 4.1.0.2 -->.
And how can I remove noindex, nofollow? The settings are not working (or I can’t understand the algorythm) under “All in One SEO > Search Appearance > Taxonomies > Advanced – use defualt settings (disable) – toggle checkboxes – gives no effect.

If authors won’t fix this issue and you need fast 100% working solution to remove empty description is:

// Remove AIOSP empty description ( - Page {n}) on pagination page
add_filter( 'aioseo_description', 'aioseo_filter_description' );
function aioseo_filter_description( $description ) {
	if ( is_tax() || is_category() || is_tag() || is_post_type_archive()){
		return '';
	}

	return $description;
}

Also I can see <meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow, max-image-preview:large"/> on pagination pages. I’ve checked All in One SEO > Search Appearance > Taxonomies > Advanced – use defualt settings is ON. No custom settings is set.

@wpsmort sorry for the long delay – seems you’ve fixed that in one of the updates, but I’ve got the issue again.

We’ve got EMPTY category meta description (because it’s not a Pro version, so we physically can’t set it) and on the category first page – meta description is empty (is not set by AIOSP).

BUT, if I get page 2, 3, etc – I’ve got meta description = ‘ – Page {n}’.
Why?

P.S. effects only on post categories. Archives seems works fine.
Thanks.

@wpsmort seems works, could you please tell where we can remove noindex tag from pagination pages (2nd, 3rd, etc)?

Thanks.

@wpsmort I mean that I dont’s have premium version of the plugin => there is no Taxonomies meta description settings => There is no meta description for categories => I use custom fields and wp_head action to echo my custom meta description.

ISSUE: if I don’t have premium => there is no meta description for categories => WHY there is meta description for category pagination pages? That’s why I got doubled meta description tag. Can’t you see it? Did the link was helpfull?

So, seems there is a bug, because it sounds logical that if there is no Premium (if meta description for Tax/Category is empty) – the meta description doesn’t outputs neither on 1st page, nor others.

Hope this helped.

@wpsmort no, just echo function for wp_head action. I’ve wrote it above.

@wpsmort

I didn’t want to provide the link for the security reasons, but seems there is nothing else to do. Please, let me know when you’ll got it – I’ll remove the link from the post.

1. https://rubika.com.ua/blog – none meta description from AIOSP, custom meta description outputs using functions.php using custom fields and wp_head action.

2. https://rubika.com.ua/blog/page/2 – empty meta description + ” – Page %s” from AIOSP and custom meta description.

There should not be ” – Page %s” meta description if AIOSP meta is empty, because there is no premium => there is no meta description for this taxonomy (category).

Thanks.
