Are you working on this, what is taking so long
Hello,
Please note that it may take some time for Google to crawl or index a recently published post, page, or website. It depends on a lot of factors. Just two of the many factors Google takes into consideration when indexing new URLs are your posting frequency and domain authority. Google assigns a crawl budget to your website depending on these factors and that has a direct effect on how soon or how late your content can get indexed. For more details follow the URL I’ve shared below:
https://rankmath.com/kb/google-index/
You shared a URL of the Google Search Console. I’m unable to access it. So please share the affected page URLs or screenshots so that we can check and solve your issues.
Looking forward to helping you.
Thank you.
Hello,
The URLs you have shared are redirecting to your homepage. Could you please confirm if they should be opening?
Also, your 404 pages seem to be redirected to your homepage. You can check that in Rank Math > General Settings > Redirections > Fallback Behavior
If the issue still persists, we might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress & FTP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.
Please do take a complete backup of your website before sharing the information with us.
It is completely secure and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the below plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/temporary-login-without-password/
You can use the above plugin in conjunction with the WP Security Audit Log to monitor what changes our staff might make on your website (if any):

We really look forward to helping you.
Thank you.

Hello,
Thank you for providing additional information.
Rank Math has the option to Auto redirect the post whenever the slug is changed. So, whenever any slug is changed Rank Math adds 301 redirect automatically. As this option was turned on after the slug was changed, hence, the 301 redirect wasn’t added automatically.
For the above 4 links, please add the 301 redirect manually by going to Rank Math > Redirections.
We have a detailed article on how you can add redirects by going through the below link:
https://rankmath.com/kb/setting-up-redirections/
However, if you are expecting these pages to be working and not returning a 404/homepage, let us know.
Thank you
Jeremy, yes like I said I added the auto-redirect after because I didn’t know about it.
I gave support access to my WordPress site today to check over everything, including settings, etc.
They seem to be working now, and no error messages in google search that I can see.
Also when I open google search console it’s in french and for the life of me I can’t get it changed back to English, any ideas?
