    Having used Google search console to understand if my blogs and pages have been indexed, it is returning a message that they have not been indexed due to a No: ‘noindex’ detected in ‘robots’ meta tag, detected in each of the posts and pages.

    I have completed the following actions:

    1. Switched rank math to advanced mode.
    2. Accessed one of the blogs with the No: ‘noindex’ detected in ‘robots’ meta tag detected.
    3. Clicked the rank math option.
    4. Clicked the Advanced Tab.
    5. Clicked the Robots Meta to index.
    6. Saved the page.
    7. Accessed settings in WordPress and navigated to reading.
    8. Ensured that there is nothing checked noindex in this element.

    I have then returned back to one of the blogs and selected page elements, searched for robot. Within the page source there is No: ‘noindex’ detected in ‘robots’ meta tag still detected.

    Please help?

    Hello,

    Thank you for providing detailed steps you have taken to address the issue with the ‘noindex’ tag affecting your posts and pages. It seems like you have followed the correct steps within Rank Math and WordPress settings.

    To further troubleshoot the issue, please ensure that the ‘noindex’ tag is not set as a default value in your Titles & Meta settings in Rank Math. Here’s how you can check and modify this setting:

    1. Navigate to Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta in your WordPress dashboard.
    2. Double-check each section to ensure that the settings are as per your preference.
    3. If any posts or pages are set as "noindex" by default, you can change them to "Index" by selecting the respective option.
    4. Save the changes by clicking the Save Changes button at the bottom of the page.

    By ensuring that the default settings do not include the ‘noindex’ tag, you can prevent it from being applied to your posts and pages automatically.

    If after checking these settings, the issue persists, please let us know, and we will assist you further.

    Thank you for your patience and cooperation.

    As advised all settings are set to index. Yet still the robot reads No: ‘noindex’ detected in ‘robots’ meta tag.
