new post types

Hello,

We apologize for the issue you’re facing. The message you received indicates that Rank Math has detected new post types created by the ElementsKit plugin. Even if you don’t have specific post titles for these new post types, it’s important to configure their SEO settings to ensure they are indexed correctly by search engines.

Here’s what you can do:

1. Check Titles & Meta Settings: Click on the notification in your Rank Math dashboard that mentions the new post types. This will take you to the Titles & Meta settings for these post types. Here, you can set the appropriate SEO titles and meta descriptions, as well as configure the Robots Meta settings (whether to index or noindex these post types).

   • If these post types are user-facing and should be indexed, set them to Index.
   • If they are for internal use only, set them to No Index.

   

2. Configure Sitemap Settings: After adjusting the Titles & Meta settings, check the Sitemap settings for these post types. You can do this by clicking on the Sitemap link in the notification. Ensure that the new post types are included in your sitemap if they should be indexed.

   • If you decide not to index them, make sure to toggle off the Include in Sitemap option.

   

3. Save Changes: After making your adjustments, don’t forget to click the Save Changes button to apply your settings.

For a detailed guide on configuring Titles and Meta settings, you can refer to this link.

If you would like more comprehensive assistance with setting up these configurations, we recommend our professional setup service available at Rank Math Services. This service requires a PRO subscription and ensures your plugin setup is fully correct and adheres to the latest SEO standards.

Thank you for raising this concern! If you have any further questions or need additional help, feel free to reply to this ticket.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting us. We apologize for any inconvenience this issue may have caused.

Please note that this notice is simply a reminder for you to configure the SEO settings for these post types. If you forget to configure them, you might end up indexing a page on the search engine that shouldn’t be or end up with an irrelevant SEO title and meta description — which can most probably affect your search rankings.

Here’s our guide you can follow for that: https://rankmath.com/kb/new-post-type-detected/

You can check the post type settings in the Titles & Meta settings, or if you feel it is not very important, then you can click on the X button to clear the notification.

However, if the notification doesn’t go away by clicking the X button, then please try clearing Rank Math’s transients from WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > Status & Tools > Database Tools > Remove Rank Math Transients: https://rankmath.com/kb/rank-math-status-and-tools/#rank-math-transients

Let us know how it goes. Looking forward to helping you.

Thank you.
