Category Issue between Yoast & Pretty Links

    I realized that the search engines were beginning to crawl my Pretty link categories and link tags (which is not what I wanted). I went into Yoast’s taxonimies and set the Pretty Link categories and link tags to ‘no index’. I left my regular categories and posts as they were already set (yes-index).

    I just saw in Google Search Console that they are excluding my regular categories because they indicate “Submitted URL marked ‘noindex’”. The only changes made were for the Pretty Link categories and link tags.

    I contacted Pretty Links and they feel that this is a bug in Yoast.

    Pretty Links categories appears to be part of their premium version so I cannot test it as I don’t have the premium version. The Yoast plugin changed from using index/noindex to yes/no for the question Show [item_type] in search results? Just to confirm that we’re on the same page, which version of Yoast SEO are you using? If it’s not the current 11.8 version, does updating to the current version resolve the issue?

    It would also be helpful to provide your site link along with a link for a pretty link category, a link for a regular category.
