Google Console error – Submitted URL marked ‘noindex’

Hello,

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

Please head over to your WP Dashboard > Rank Math > Titles & Meta > Authors > Author Robots Meta and check whether the noindex option has been toggled.

Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

Hello,

Thanks for getting back to us.

We might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.

It is completely secure and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the below plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead:

You can use the above plugin in conjunction with the WP Security Audit Log to monitor what changes our staff might make on your website (if any):

We really look forward to helping you.

HI Idris,

Thanks for the follow up.

This is a false positive, I have checked several member pages and they have been set to index as shown below:

Please clear your site cache and validate the fix on the search console and let us know if the error will still be reported.

Thank you.

Hi Idris,

It is likely that Google indexed a cached version of these pages and this is the reason that it reported the noindex error when in real sense the pages have been set to index.

The validation process may take a couple of days or even up to a week.

I hope this info helps. Thank you.
