Instant Indexing Response Code

Hello,

We apologize for the issue you are facing with the Instant Indexing response codes not showing up in the history. This can happen for a few reasons, such as the API key not being properly configured or issues with the submission process itself.

To troubleshoot this, please ensure that your API key is correctly set up and accessible to search engines. You can check the API key location by clicking on the Check Key button under the API Key settings in Rank Math. If the key is not accessible, it may need to be manually created in the root directory of your website.

Additionally, you can check the IndexNow History section in Rank Math to see if there are any response codes associated with your submissions. A “200 – OK” response indicates successful submission, while a “202 – Accepted” means the request was received but not yet verified.

If you continue to experience issues, we recommend replying to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further.

Thank you for raising this concern!

Hello,

The issue is occurring because of the encoded URLs of your website. It is a UI issue and we’ve already shared this with our developers and they are investigating it. As soon as we get some updates, we’ll make sure to let you know here.

We would really appreciate your kind patience regarding this issue.

For now, you can use the following filter code on your website to fix the issue:

function index_now_history_tab(){
	echo '<style>
	#indexnow_history tr td{
	   max-width: 500px !important;
        }
	</style>';
}
add_action('admin_head', 'index_now_history_tab');

Here’s how you can add filter/hook to your WordPress site: https://rankmath.com/kb/wordpress-hooks-actions-filters/

Please don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any other questions.

Thank you.
