    Hello guys,
    at first thank you for this fantastic plugin, i’m using it for a few months and i’m very satisfied.
    Recently i have noticed a problem with site indexing, as you can see here
    It’s written ‘discovered but not indexed’ in my language. There are 221 pages which are discovered but not indexed and my website contains around 300 pages, and that’s why i’m very worried about.

    Sorry for asking here, but can you help me somehow, i guess you guys are more experienced in this filed than me. I’m very new in world of SEO 🙂

    Thanks a lot!

    Filip

    Hello,

    Thank you for getting in touch and I am extremely sorry about the trouble this might have caused.

    There are a few things you must check for in order to see why the posts aren’t getting indexed.

    1. Make sure the post is not selected as ‘noindex’ in WP > Posts > Your Post > Advanced Tab in Rank Math.
    Screenshot:

    Individual Post Advanced Tab

    2. Ensure that the noindex is not selected for Global or Posts meta:

    Noindex Settings

    3. Check the sitemap settings and check if the posts are setup to be included in the sitemaps:

    Post Settings

    I aso noted the pages were last crawled sometime ago. Could you please try requesting indexing for these pages and let us know how it goes?

    Please note that it is completely upto Google if they want to index or not index your website. So, if you haven’t willingly or accidentally made your posts noindex and Google still isn’t indexing your page – it means that either Google doesn’t want to index or hasn’t crawled your page yet because it hasn’t allocated that much crawl budget to your website.

    Please check this website for more details.

    Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

    Hi,
    thank you for your answer.
    Everything was right – everything was checked as INDEX but post were checked as NOINDEX. Maybe that was a problem? We will see….
    I’m not sure cause don’t have any Post, only Products….
    Sitemap is OK.
    I got one more question – what means FEED in this urls?

    Hello,

    Did you check your products for the noindex tag? If they are set to index, please test some of the URLs with the URL inspection tool in your GSC and let us know the results.

    As for the URLs in the screenshot you shared, these are known as feed URLs or RSS Feeds. You can learn more about WordPress feeds by going to this link.

    Hope that helps. If you have any further question(s), please let us know. Thank you.
