  • Hello,

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

    1). To fix this issue, please head over to the edit page of each of the affected pages and navigate to the Rank Math metabox > General tab > Edit snippet and set a custom url on the field shown below:
    IMG
    2). You can fix this by setting the posts or pages to “No index” via the Rank Math metabox on the “Advanced tab” as shown below:
    IMG
    3). You can fix this by doing the step above on the category edit page.

    Additionally, you need to resubmit your sitemap to Google so that Google can crawl the updated content/URLs on your site.

    I hope this info helps. Thank you.

    hi thanks for the support .
    also regarding the pages that are already deleted . how can we make them to not show in search .

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.

    I am glad that the first issues is now resolved. As for the second question, you will need to remove the page link from the Google cache by following these steps:

    1). Login to the search console and head over to the remove outdated content page.
    2). Enter the URL (web address) of the page that has the deleted content you want to remove.
    3). Select Request removal.
    If you see the message “We think the image or web page you’re trying to remove hasn’t been removed by the site owner,” follow the onscreen steps to fix this.
    4). If you see the message “This content is no longer live on the website,” select Request Removal.

    I hope this info helps. Thank you.
