Hi,

you can’t turn off archives in wordpress, via Yoast you can tell search engine not to index them, however if you don’t index archives, you will only index single listings and your pages including the home page. Meaning if someone search “Category in Location” and you have results for that query, google will ignore them.

Why would you do that?

You are taking something simple and overcomplicating it. In addition, this is another support question for the SEO plugin support forum. Doesn’t belong here.

Thanks
