I set no index in both Global Meta and in pages and articles and categories etc. and the default for pages is still Index. I’ve done this before on other sites where it did work, but i don’t know what I am missing now.
It is on the latest rank math version. I am using Elementor, which I have used before where No Index did work. I tried uninstalling and installing the pluin but it didn’t help. How can I force no index on everything except the pages that I want indexed?`
