GSC sitemap problem

    Hi , recently I have turned to RankMath to manage my SEO scores and sitemap.

    It’s a brand new site and domain, and after a few days and a few posts, it finally gets crawled by Google. However, my Search Console shows this warning right from the start. Please check my image: https://imgur.com/gqnstZC

    The 3 URL errors include 2 blog posts and 1 category.

    Based on Google explanation, it means that I “submitted these pages for indexing, but the pages have a ‘noindex’ directive either in a meta tag or HTTP header”.

    Since I completed my RankMath settings, I have never touched a thing. Also, I never choose the “no-index empty categories” option.

    **Is it just a matter of time before this problem gets fixed automatically when Google bots crawl my site next time? **

    Or do I need to manually investigate further and fix it?

    Somehow, when I clicked on the inspect URL and then “test live URL”, it shows that Google can index it. Even though, my GSC coverage dashboard still shows that they are marked noindex.

    Hello,

    Thank you for your reply.

    I have inspected all the three URLs, and all are set to “index” , The error you must be seeing inside the GSC are old, Wait for a few days, By using the inspecting tool, you are saying google to crawl them, soon Google will crawl the pages and the error will go away.

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

    thanks so much for your help.
