    Hi,
    I’m wondering why my no-index settings for Authors on my WordPress website is not reflecting.

    As you can see here on the Rankmath Author Settings, no-index is currently checked:
    Rank Math Author settings

    But when you go to https://www.sierracare.com/author/mktadmin/ there is no meta for no-index on the source code:

    You can also still see it on Google Searches:
    Google Search

    Let me know if I should just disable Authors or if there is another way.

    Thanks

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting the support, and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    We can’t seem to replicate this from our end. Please refer to my video screencast here:
    https://i.rankmath.com/vXshTo

    Assuming you are using the latest version of all the plugins and the themes (please update if not yet), it would seem like a conflict with one of the plugins or the theme you are using.

    To determine that, please follow this troubleshooting guide:

    Here is a video you can follow as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcIWRhcUP2c

    Only the site admin would know and your users won’t be affected by this troubleshooting.

    If the issue persists, please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress login in the designated Sensitive Data section.

    Please do take a complete backup of your website before sharing the information with us.
    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:

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/temporary-login-without-password/

    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):
