    Hi there, I have been facing two issues with RankMath recently. Could you please helm me to fix them ASAP?

    #1. For a week now the breadcrumbs on my Oxygen Builder powered website have disappeared, which was working absolutely fine earlier. I checked the shortcode is still there, but it’s only showing “Home” in the breadcrumb and nothing else. Now I am not sure what is the problem.

    #2. I recently noticed that my taxonomy pages are getting indexed on the Google SERPs even though I made them non-indexed using RankMath Wizard settings. Do I need to manually add no-index tags to all my custom taxonomies or something else?

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math, and sorry for any inconvenience caused.

    1. Head over to Rank Math > General settings > Breadcrumbs > Ensure that the Hide Post Title option is disabled.

    2. I checked those pages, and they are set to index. If you have changed the robots meta on individual pages, then you need to set them to noindex from the Advanced tab in the SEO Meta Box on that page.

    For the paginated pages, go to Rank Math > Titles & Meta > Misc Pages > Enable Noindex Subpages option.

    Hope this helps.

    We look forward to helping you.

    Hi Anas, thanks for your response.

    1. Actually I found out where the issue is coming from, I used Plugin Detective to find the culprit, and eventually I found out that the Permalink Manager Lite is the main reason behind this problem, so after deactivating it the problem is gone. However, I need this plugin because without it my Google Web Story custom URL will be broken.

    Could you please tell me if I should contact the Permalink Manager Team for this issue or RankMath will take care of it?

    2. I haven’t changed the robots meta on individual pages as they’re taxonomy archives and I never touch any advanced settings for those pages.

    For the paginated pages, this option is already activated (Rank Math > Titles & Meta > Misc Pages > Enable Noindex Subpages option).
