I have enabled indexing for tag pages through the settings, but the plugin still sets tag pages to “noindex.”

Please check the attached screenshot.
What could be the issue, and how can I fix it?

Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with your tag pages being set to ‘noindex’ despite enabling indexing in the settings. This can happen if the noindex setting is applied at a different level or if there are conflicting settings.
Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve this issue:
1. Check Rank Math’s Titles & Meta Settings
- Navigate to Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta in your WordPress dashboard.
- Ensure that the settings for the Tags tab are configured to allow indexing. You should see an option for the Robots Meta tag where you can select Index.
2. Verify Individual Tag Page Settings
- Open the specific tag page in the WordPress Editor.
- Check the Rank Math Metabox (you may need to enable it if it’s not visible) and ensure that the Robots Meta is set to Index.
3. Clear Cache
- If you are using any caching plugins, clear the cache after making changes to ensure that the new settings are applied.
4. Check for Conflicting Plugins
- Sometimes, other SEO plugins or settings can conflict with Rank Math. Ensure that no other plugins are overriding your settings.
5. Use Bulk Actions for Multiple Tags
- If you have multiple tag pages, consider using bulk actions to update their indexing settings at once.
Once you have made these checks and adjustments, please allow some time for Google to re-crawl your pages. If the issue persists, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further.
Thank you for raising this concern!
