    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math, and sorry for any inconvenience caused.

    Can you please share the affected URL with us so we can check?

    Also, check if you have discouraged your site from search engines, head over to WordPress dashboard > Settings > Reading > Make sure checkbox is unchecked:
    robtosmeta

    We look forward to helping you.

    Hello,

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

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    Please note that the noindex tag is added to the sitemaps on purpose, and you shouldn’t change that. It is added so that the sitemap itself doesn’t get included in the Google search index.

    The sitemaps are intended to be crawled by the search engines but not get indexed on the SERPs.

    Can you please follow these steps?
    1. Flush the Sitemap cache by following this video screencast:

    2. Exclude the Sitemap files of the Rank Math plugin in your caching plugin. The cache could be via a plugin or from the server. For plugins or Cloudflare, please follow this article:
    https://rankmath.com/kb/exclude-sitemaps-from-caching/

    3. Remove all your sitemaps from GSC and re-submit only the sitemap_index.xml URL.

    That should fix the issue. Please let me know if that does not. We are here to assist.

    Sir I have done all the things you have said to me, but the problems did not resolved. Please help me.

    Hello,

    I checked your website, it is correctly set to index.

    As my colleague mentioned earlier, the sitemaps, by default, are set to noindex as it is not meant to be indexed and appear in the search results.

    The sitemap should only be submitted in the sitemaps sections in the Search Console.

    Please submit the sitemap in the sitemaps section by following this guide:

    Hope this helps.

    Thank you.
