    Good morning,
    I don’t know why, but my homepage is still marked as As NoIndex.
    Yet the Rank Math and page settings are all correct and “Index” is ticked, but when I go to the front end and check via the admin bar shortcut, it is marked as NoIndex there. In fact on google it is not indexed correctly

  • Hello,

    Thanks for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    Please make sure that you have set the robots meta to index in the advanced tab of your homepage’s SEO meta box.

    If it is set to index and you’re still facing the issue then 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:

    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):

    We really look forward to helping you.

    Hello,

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

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    Thanks for your reply.

    I logged into your website’s admin area and upon checking the source of your homepage, I was able to find a No Index tag applied.

    I checked the Advanced Tab of the SEO Meta Box on the Homepage and I found that the Homepage is already set to Index.

    Upon further investigating, I found that you’ve enabled the “Discourage search engines from indexing this site” option from your WordPress admin area > Settings > Reading. So, I went ahead and unchecked that option and the No Index tag is now removed from your Homepage’s source.

    Please see the screenshots available in the sensitive data section of this ticket.

    I suggest your 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). Further, give Google some time to crawl your website and reflect on the changes.

    Please let us know how that goes.

    Thanks.

    Oh my god, thank you. Now it works, i’m an idiot ahaha i forgot to de-flag that option!
