Can’t Enable the Index Status tab

Hello,

We apologize for the inconvenience you are facing with enabling the Index Status tab in Rank Math. If the “Enable the Index Status tab” option is grayed out and unclickable, we recommend switching to a Chromium-based browser like Google Chrome and navigating to Rank Math SEO → General Settings → Analytics to toggle it on.

If you have already tried this and are still unable to enable the Index Status tab, please ensure that you have connected the URL-prefix property to fetch the data properly in Rank Math Analytics and Index Status. The URL-prefix property also helps keep your sitemap in sync with Google Search Console as we submit it automatically for you.

If you are using a domain property, please reconnect your Google account from WordPress Dashboard → Rank Math SEO → General Settings → Analytics and connect the URL-prefix property. After that, you can try to enable the Index Status tab again.

If you have any further questions or need assistance with this matter, please feel free to reach out to our support team by replying to this ticket. We are available 24×7, 365 days a year and are happy to help you with any issues you might face.

Thank you for reaching out to us.

Hello,

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

Your Seach Console is showing red means your Google Account is not properly connected with the Rank Math plugin. In this case, please try to disconnect and reconnect it again from WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > General Settings > Analytics with all the required permissions.

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

Thank you.
