Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention. I’m sorry for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.
It seems that you have already marked this ticket as already resolved. Could you please confirm?
Meanwhile, the 202 status code means that the URL has been accepted by the IndexNow API but the site is yet to get verified by the API. Please wait for IndexNow to verify your site and submit URLs to Bing.
Unfortunately, there is no fixed/estimated time for this.
Looking forward to helping you.
Thank you.
I didn’t know that Index Now is for bing indexing not for google. Turns out it’s a separate Google plugin hehe.. I’d like to add a bit of an auto-bad bot blocking feature and add below posts to see the 60 character title count, description, meta tags, etc.
Hello,
I am glad that we could address your concern.
Here’s an article on how to deal with the unwanted bots in WordPress: https://ithemes.com/blog/stop-bots-wordpress/#:~:text=your%20online%20space.-,How%20Do%20I%20Block%20Bad%20Bots%20In%20WordPress%3F,-Learning%20how%20to
As for the meta inquiry, could you please share which specific posts you are referring to? Also, when entering meta details using Rank Math, the limit of the characters is suggested there for the best length of your title/description possible.
Looking forward to helping you on this one.
