My unwanted pages are ranked like 16 of 19 pages, 22 of 22 pages?

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention. I’m sorry for the delay and for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.

You can noindex those paginated pages by heading over to your WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > Titles & Meta > Misc Pages

Please note that some options are only available when you enable the Advanced Mode in Rank Math. If it’s not showing, you must have chosen to use the Easy Mode. Please follow the steps in this link to switch to Advanced Mode:

Hello,

Can you please share some of the affected URLs with us so we can further check them on our end?

Hello,

Thank you for that additional information, and sorry for the delay.

I’ve checked your site, and it’s indeed that the paginated pages are still showing in Google search results. However, those pages have already the noindex meta tag in their source code.

I’ve also noticed that your sitemap is showing a blank page, but has a source code in it. Please follow the steps in this link to fix your sitemap:

You can also use this tool to validate your sitemap and ensure that it is already working properly.

Once your sitemap is already fixed, please remove all the sitemaps you have submitted in your Google Search Console account, then resubmit your main sitemap only /sitemap_index.xml and give Google some time to recrawl your website.

I hope that helps. Thank you, and please don’t hesitate to contact us anytime if you need further assistance.
