    By default, any posts that you’d set to No from the Yoast SEO meta box advanced option → show this post on search results will be automatically excluded from the sitemap generated by Yoast SEO. You can find more information about this here.

    but i can’t do it manually one by one
    if there is a way to exclude specific category’s post that would be nice.

    Hello,

    You can noindex a specific category by following these steps:

    • Go to Posts → Categories.
    • Click ‘Edit’ on the specific category
    • Scroll down to the Yoast meta box and expand the “Advanced” tab
    • Choose ‘No’ for the option to ‘Allow search engines to show this Category in search results?’

      • That should add “noindex” tag to all the posts included in this category.
