    Hello,
    I have some problems in the search console with some URLs. In pages HTML code there is meta robot tag “NoIndex”. I believe it is from rankmath plugin but I can not find where and how to fix it. I attached you a PrintScreen so maybe you can help me.

    Thank you for your support

    Hello,

    It is a pretty common mistake to open the page source and search for a noindex tag to see if the page is marked as noindex or not. In your case, you saw the mention of noindex and assumed that the page is set as noindex. The actual noindex tag is added like this:

    <meta robots="noindex">

    But, the one you mentioned in your post refers to the No Index option that Rank Math offers in the admin menu bar.
    null

    It is pretty easy to mistake the two especially if you do not have full knowledge of how the noindex tag works and how it is supposed to look like.

    You can confirm the presence (or absence) of the actual robots noindex tag on this 3rd party website:

    So, nothing to worry about if the above website says it is index. Your page is definitely not set to noindex ðŸ™‚

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