    Hi. The option “Remove Post’s Relational Links tag?” remove only the previous tag.

    would not be more complete if also removed the next tag (<link rel=”next”)?

    I use ajax scroll auto load for my custom post type content, and Google are indexing links “mywebsite.com/blog/page/2” that do not exist (returning 404)
    I suspect it’s the <link rel=”next” meta tag that makes Google index these links

    Hello. I researched a bit more and found a more appropriate solution. Instead of removing the “next” and “previous” meta tags (introduced by Yoast SEO) from the entire website, I made only for home page and my custom taxonomy, by Yoast filter bellow:

    /* Remove Yoast SEO Prev/Next URL on some pages
 * Credit: Yoast Team
 * Last Tested: Jun 10 2017 using Yoast SEO 4.9 on WordPress 4.8
 */
add_filter( 'wpseo_next_rel_link', 'custom_remove_wpseo_next', 10 );
add_filter( 'wpseo_prev_rel_link', 'custom_remove_wpseo_prev', 10 );
function custom_remove_wpseo_next( $link ) {
     /* Make the magic happen here
      * Example below removes the rel=”next” link
      */
     if (is_tax( 'mycustomtax' ) || is_front_page() ) {
          return false;
     } else { 
          return $link;
     }
}
function custom_remove_wpseo_prev( $link ) {
	     /* Make the magic happen here
      * Example below removes the rel=”previous” link
      */
			if (is_tax( 'mycustomtax' ) || is_front_page() ) {
          return false;
     } else { 
          return $link;
     }
}
