Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with the URLs showing as "Crawled – currently not indexed" in Google Search Console. This status indicates that Google has crawled your URLs but has chosen not to index them.
Here are a few things to consider regarding this issue:
-
Site-Wide Quality Issue: If the URLs in question are primarily feed pages or contain thin content, it may be that Google does not find them valuable enough to index. If you notice that most of the pages being excluded are of this type, it might be safe to ignore this status.
-
Internal Linking Structure: Ensure that your important pages have internal links from relevant pages on your website. This can help improve their chances of being indexed. You can set your important pages as pillar content and let Rank Math suggest relevant internal links.
-
Content Quality: Evaluate the content on these pages. If they lack valuable information, consider improving them or removing them if they do not serve a purpose.
-
Duplicate Content: Check if these pages are duplicated elsewhere on your site. If so, you may want to add a canonical tag pointing to the original content you want indexed.
-
Content Audit: Conduct a content audit to identify any outdated or low-quality content that may be affecting your site’s overall quality. You can improve these pages or consider alternatives like adding a noindex meta tag if they are not essential.

Hello,
Thank you for contacting us and bringing your concern to our attention.
Feed URLs are only the basic code versions of your actual content pages and are generated by WordPress.
If you want to disable them on your site, you can follow this guide:
https://rankmath.com/kb/disable-rss-feeds/
Alternatively, you can disallow bots from crawling the feed URLs from the robots.txt file at WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > General Settings > Edit Robots.txt:
User-Agent: *
Disallow: */feed*
Once done, give Google some time to recrawl your site to reflect the changes.
Hope that helps and please don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any other questions.
Inside the plug of Rank math my robot.txt edit not allowed. Options to do this
Hello,
Rank Math creates a virtual robots.txt file and lets you handle it through the WordPress dashboard.
However, if you have an actual robots.txt file in your site’s root folder, then you may not be able to edit it with Rank Math.
Here’s a link for more information:

Looking forward to helping you.
