Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention. I’m sorry for the delay.
If Google is still crawling your Feed URLs even if they are already set to noIndex, you can add this line to your robots.txt
User-Agent: *
Disallow: */feed/
Please refer to this tutorial guide for more details on editing the robots.txt file with Rank Math: https://rankmath.com/kb/how-to-edit-robots-txt-with-rank-math/
For your attachment pages, you can redirect them to the actual post/page. Here’s the link for more information:

Please note that some options are only available when you enable the Advanced Mode in Rank Math. If it’s not showing, you must have chosen to use the Easy Mode. Please follow the steps in this link to switch to Advanced Mode:

I hope that helps. Thank you, and please don’t hesitate to contact us anytime if you need further assistance with anything else.
hi,
I was using the “Redirect Attachments” option long before raising this ticket, but still I can see that Google is crawling my media attachment pages.
Hello,
Thank you for keeping in touch with us.
Can you please share the affected URL with us so we can further check it on our end?
Looking forward to helping you.
[removed links as requested]
Hello,
Most of the links are not visible on the Google search page anymore after checking it. Although there are still some that are cached by Google and still indexed. Like this page:
[moved to sensitive data section]
This issue could be just temporary as the file was last cached on March 26, 2021. Please see this video screencast: [moved to sensitive data section]
Give it a couple of days for Google to recrawl your entire website and these pages should be removed from being indexed.
Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
Thanks a lot for your kind response, could you please now remove this ticket? As my site URL is exposed here.
Hello,
Thank you for the update.
I’ve already removed all your visible links and the screenshot/screencast my colleague provided showing your website as requested.
Let us know if you still need further assistance.
Looking forward to helping you.
Thank you.
