I have gone through all the support threads and everything like global is set to index and dicourage search engines are unchecked in WordPress settings. My product pages are built with Elementor, I don’t know what’s causing this issue, please help.

  • Hello,

    Hello,

    I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?

    Thank you.

    I’m unable to do it myself, if you can look into this, It will be very helpful.

    Hello,

    I’ve checked your site, and it seems that you have some outdated plugins including Rank Math and WooCommerce. Since we don’t have an access to your FTP, please update them to the latest version and see if the issue persists.

    Also, when the WooCommerce module is enabled in the Rank Math dashboard, Rank Math automatically adds the noindex to the robots meta of myaccount, checkout, and cart pages. In this case, you can check if there are any plugins adding these pages’ functions to your products.

    I hope that helps.

    Thank you, and looking forward to your update.

    I have updated all plugins and tried to find any other plugin that might be causing this problem but could not find one. I uninstalled Rankmath plugin and automatically got fixed.

    Just installed another SEO Plugin to check, now everything is working fine. I don’t know what is happening. Btw I don’t want to switch to another SEO plugin from Rankmath

    Hello,

    Upon checking with the “Health Check & Troubleshooting,” I have found that the plugin “Buy Now Button for WooCommerce” is causing the noindex issue. You can confirm the same by disabling the plugin. Since your website is live, I haven’t disabled the plugin for now.

    You can get in touch with the plugin developer to sort this issue out.

    Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

    Okay thanks for the solution.
