I have always been able to create a page and instantly index it with Google through RankMath. I create a new page today and the instant index quit working.
Get Status returns a 404 on the new page.
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated! Love RankMath!

Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with the Instant Indexing feature in Rank Math. It seems that the new page you created is returning a 404 error, which indicates that the page may not exist or there might be an issue with the URL.
Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot this issue:
-
Check the URL: Ensure that the URL of the new page is correct and that the page has been published. Sometimes, a typo in the URL can lead to a 404 error.
-
Verify Page Status: Go to your WordPress dashboard and check if the page is published and not in draft mode. If it’s still a draft, it won’t be accessible.
-
Use Instant Indexing: If the page is published and the URL is correct, try using the Instant Indexing feature again. You can do this by navigating to Rank Math SEO → Instant Indexing and submitting the page again.
-
Check for Redirects: If you have recently changed the URL structure or deleted any pages, ensure that there are no conflicting redirects that might be causing the 404 error.
-
Monitor Index Status: You can also check the index status of your pages by going to Rank Math SEO → Analytics → Index Status to see if there are any other issues affecting your site.
If you continue to experience issues after following these steps, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further. Thank you for raising this concern, and we appreciate your support for Rank Math!
