    Hi,
    I have a multisite install as follows
    Live sites:
    1) example.com redirects to example.com/es
    2) example.com/en

    I am developing:
    3) example.com/ar
    4) example.com/ba

    How can I avoid for now that the sites in development get indexed.
    What are the settings for rankmath that I must use in the development sites, to avoid beeing indexed.

    Thanks in advance

    Yes I knew that about WP.
    What I ask is if there is not special settings for the plugin. I already disable instant indexing (sorry I dont remember exact name of the setting)

    Hello,

    You can set the global robots meta to noindex in Rank Math, to do that, head over to Rank Math > Titles & Meta > Global Meta > Check noindex checkbox > Save
    robots

    I hope this helps. Looking forward to helping you.

    Hello,

    Thank you for keeping in touch with us and we apologize for the unexpected delays.

    We might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress & FTP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.
    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):

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-security-audit-log/

    We really look forward to helping you.

    Hi,

    I have an issue with the redirect in htaccess. When I manage to solve this problem I will return. However if you wish to know with rankmath installed when I activate the Redirection plugin the message says that I have to disable it because I cant have two SEO plugins installed. Thanks

    Hello,

    Thank you for getting back to us.

    The reason why it is saying that there are two SEO plugins installed could be either because your redirection plugin has some SEO functionalities similar to those of Rank Math or because of the redirection module present in the Rank Math plugin.

    You may have to consider using one functionality in either of the plugins but not using both. So if you prefer doing redirections with that other plugin you can always disable the Redirection module in Rank Math.

    Hope this helps. Let us know once you have any other queries related to this.
