Yoast SEO: Disable Yoast SEO output

As of Yoast SEO 14.0, we've changed the way you can interact with the output of Yoast SEO. However, in some cases, you might want to disable the output coming from Yoast SEO on a specific post.

Please add the following code to your theme's functions.php file.

add_action( 'template_redirect', 'remove_wpseo' );

/**
 * Removes output from Yoast SEO on the frontend for a specific post, page or custom post type.
 */
function remove_wpseo() {
	if ( is_single ( 1 ) ) {
		$front_end = YoastSEO()->classes->get( Yoast\WP\SEO\Integrations\Front_End_Integration::class );

		remove_action( 'wpseo_head', [ $front_end, 'present_head' ], -9999 );
	}
}

The above example will disable output for the post with the ID of 1. You can also adapt the code to a variety of different situations:

• To disable the output for a page, you can replace is_single with is_page function:

if ( is_page ( 1 ) ) { //... }

• To disable the output for multiple posts, you can pass an array to the is_single function. This can also be used with the previous is_page solution:

if ( is_single( [ 123456, 234567, 345678 ] ) ) { //... }

• To disable the output for a custom post type, you need to change is_single to is_singular and then pass the slug of your custom post type to the is_singular function:

if ( is_singular( 'my_custom_posttype' ) ) { //... }
