    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting us and we regret the inconvenience caused.

    I checked the source of the page in your screenshot but I was unable to find any No Index tags. The page is set to Index. You can have a look at the screenshot in the sensitive data section of this ticket.

    I also checked the robots.txt file to see if something is blocking the access, but the robots.txt seems fine.

    The page is also listed in the sitemap.

    In this case, please follow the below steps:
    1. Flush the Sitemap cache by following this video screencast:
    https://i.rankmath.com/pipRDp

    2. Exclude the Sitemap files of the Rank Math plugin in your caching plugin. The cache could be via a plugin or from the server. For plugins or Cloudflare, please follow this article:
    https://rankmath.com/kb/exclude-sitemaps-from-caching/

    3. Clear your website’s cache and remove all the sitemaps from your Google Search Console account, and then submit only the main sitemap (your-domin.com/sitemap_index.xml) (please ensure to replace “your-domain.com” with your actual domain).

    Further, give Google some time to crawl your website again and see if the issue is fixed.

    Hope that helps.

    Thank you.

    Hello,
    It still not working, I still have issues, there is only my mywebsite.com/en pages who get registrated and indexed by Google.
    My mywebsite.com/fr and /es are considerated by google as no indexable because there is a redirection and duplicate content I think because of the canonical url which is the same canonical url as the /en version…

    The canonical irl are generated automatically by rankmath for each languages right ?

    Can you have a look at this ?

    Hello,

    Upon checking the page further, I noticed that there is some sort of redirection set on the page. The /fr/ version of the page is redirecting to the /en/ version of the page.

    Please have a look at the screencast in the sensitive data section.

    Could you confirm if you’ve set this redirection? If not, then 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:
    https://rankmath.com/kb/check-plugin-conflicts/

    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.

    Please let us know how that goes.

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?

    Thank you.

    I discovered that WPML (translation management plug-in) settings can create problems when google tries to index pages. The problem seems to be partly resolved for the / fr version.

    However, I still have something strange. For the / fr version I have 12 pages discovered from the sitemap submissions while for the / en and / es version 16 urls are discovered …
    Do you have any idea where the problem might be?
    Screenshot uploaded.

    Thank you !

    Hello,

    Could you please share some of the affected URLs so that we can check them on our end?

    Also, please check the coverage report under your Google Search Console account to see if there are any errors shown, that might be causing the issue.

    You can also share a screenshot of the coverage report after translating it to English. You can use a tool like imgur.com to easily upload and share the screenshots link here.

    Looking forward to hearing back from you.

    Thank you.
