Hello,
Thank you for contacting the support, and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
Upon checking your screenshot, it looks like you are also referring to the paginated page. To make sure that your paginated page is not being indexed, please head over to your WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > Titles & Meta > Misc Pages and enable “Noindex Paginated Pages”.
Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
Hello, thank you for your help. I consulted a friend before getting professional support from you. He told me to edit the “robots.txt” file. I made the arrangement as seen in the image in the link below. Then you wrote the answer and I did what you said. Now do I need to restore the robots.txt file my friend said?

I have another question. Currently, there are too many urls in the google directory due to this error. Now that we’ve fixed this error, what will happen to the urls in the google directory? I will be glad if you explain. Good work.
Hello,
Yes, please restore the robots.txt file to as it was before. If you had edited it through Rank math, leave it empty for Rank math to autogenerate the file virtually. The noindex tag is enough to let Google and other search engines know that the pages are not to be indexed.
As for the URLs tat were already indexed, you can submit URL removal request as shown here: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/9689846 or you can also await Google to drop these over time since they are set to noindex.
Hop this helps you. Thanks
