Hello,
I apologize for the issue you are facing with the noindex tags being inserted by Rank Math in your sitemap. It sounds like you’ve already taken some steps to resolve this, which is great.
To further troubleshoot this issue, please ensure that the noindex settings are not set as a default value in your Titles & Meta settings. You can check this by navigating to WordPress Dashboard → Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta and reviewing each tab to confirm that the settings align with your preferences. If you find any pages or taxonomies set to "noindex" that you want indexed, you can change them to "index" and save the changes.
Additionally, make sure that the Search Engine Visibility setting in Settings → Reading is unchecked, as having it checked will apply a noindex directive to all posts and pages.
If you’ve confirmed all these settings and the issue persists, please reply to this ticket with your site URL so that a human agent from our support team can assist you further. Thank you for raising this concern, and we look forward to helping you resolve it!
