    Hello,

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

    Could you please share a copy of some sample links affected by each error so that we can check this issue further?

    Please note that Rank Math sets all sitemap to noindex by default. This is because sitemaps are only meant to be crawled, not indexed, you don’t want to have your sitemap appearing on SERPs of course.

    Due to this, when it comes to GSC and sitemaps, all you need is to head to the Search Console and under sitemaps, submit only the main sitemap file(sitemap_index.xml). You should then give it some time to crawl.

    Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

    Hello,

    I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    I have validated your sitemap with https://www.xml-sitemaps.com/validate-xml-sitemap.html and it got validated without any issues. (Check screenshot in the sensitive data section)

    Can you please share the post/page URLs where you are seeing this noindex error in the search console?

    If the error is only on the sitemap URL, then you do not need to worry about it as the sitemaps are set to noindex as you do not want them to appear in the search results.

    I hope this helps. Looking forward to helping you.

    Thank you very much Mr. Anas for the answer

    As the error appears only in the sitemap URL, as for the rest of the pages and posts, it is good and there is no problem with it.

    thank you very much
