Exclude single page from the plugin

Hello!

I’m afraid you can’t manage this via a theme template file. The WordPress query must already be initialized before that file gets loaded, and we use that initialization to determine SEO support for a possible 301 redirect. At that very moment, we cache the filter’s return value.

So, I recommend using the (child-)theme functions.php file or a custom plugin instead.

Since TSF v4.0, we have a new filter meant for this type of alterations:
the_seo_framework_query_supports_seo

It will look a little bit like this:

add_filter( 'the_seo_framework_query_supports_seo', function( $supported ) {

	$tsf = the_seo_framework();

	// This TSF method also works in the admin area, and prevents ID collision with terms.
	if ( $tsf->is_singular() ) {

		// Define your excluded page IDs here.
		$excluded_ids = [ 42, 9001 ];

		// This TSF method supports page-as-archive pages, like blog and shop pages.
		if ( in_array( $tsf->get_the_real_ID(), $excluded_ids, true ) ) {
			$supported = false;
		}
	}

	return $supported;
} );

If you want to disable it in the admin area as well, you must use a filter that’s not really meant for this. Please note that single-post-exclusions won’t work in the list edit loop (Post overview) via this filter, but it will work for the post-edit screens:

add_filter( 'the_seo_framework_supported_post_type', function( $supported ) {
   // Use the same code as above here...
} );

I hope that these updated integrations works well for you 🙂 Cheers!

No problem! Yes, I still need to update the docs, I haven’t found the time to do that yet. 🙁
