    Hello,

    We apologize for the issue you are facing with your product categories and homepage being marked as noindex. It sounds like there may be a setting in Rank Math that needs to be adjusted.

    Here are some steps you can follow to resolve this:

    1. Check Rank Math’s Titles & Meta Settings

    • Navigate to WordPress Dashboard → Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta.
    • Check each tab to ensure that the settings for your product categories are set to index. If they are set to noindex and you want them indexed, select the respective Index Robots Meta tag.

    2. Check the Rank Math Metabox

    • Open the product category page in the WordPress Editor.
    • In the Rank Math Metabox, go to the Advanced Tab and ensure that the Robots Meta is set to Index. If it is set to No Index, simply select the Index checkbox and update the page.

    3. Search Engine Visibility

    • Make sure that the Search engine visibility option is unchecked in WordPress. Navigate to Settings → Reading and ensure that this option is not checked.

    4. Validate Fix in Google Search Console

    • After making these changes, ensure your sitemap is updated and then validate the fix in Google Search Console.

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    It looks like the Rank Math plugin is currently deactivated on your website. Can you please activate the plugin again so that we can check this further for you?

    Meanwhile, since you have add to cart page on your category and homepage, please try to use the following filter code on your website and see if that works for you:

    add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/robots', function( $robots ) {
    if( is_cart() || is_checkout() ) {
        $robots['index'] = 'index';
    }
    return $robots;
});

    Here’s how you can add filter/hook to your WordPress site: https://rankmath.com/kb/wordpress-hooks-actions-filters/

    Let us know how it goes. Looking forward to helping you.
