No Index

Hello,

We apologize for the issue you are facing with your Gallery page not getting indexed. There are several reasons why a page might not be indexed by Google. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Check for Noindex Attribute: Ensure that your Gallery page does not have a noindex attribute present in the HTML. This attribute tells search engines not to index the page.

2. Verify URL Indexing: Use Google Search to check if your URL is indexed. You can do this by entering site:yourdomain.com/gallery-page-url in the search bar. If it appears, it is indexed; if not, it may not be indexed yet.

3. Review WordPress Global Settings: Make sure that your WordPress settings allow search engines to index your site. You can find this under Settings > Reading in your WordPress dashboard.

4. Check Robots.txt File: Ensure that your robots.txt file does not block Google from crawling your Gallery page. You can check this by visiting yourdomain.com/robots.txt.

5. Crawled but Not Indexed: If Google has crawled your page but not indexed it, you can check this in Google Search Console using the URL Inspection Tool. This will provide insights into why it might be crawled but not indexed.
   

6. Content Quality: Ensure that the content on your Gallery page meets Google’s quality guidelines. Low-quality content or duplicate content can affect indexing.

7. Manual Indexing Request: If you’ve checked all of the above and still face issues, consider submitting a manual indexing request through Google Search Console.

If you continue to experience difficulties, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further. Thank you for raising this concern!

Hello,

If you are using Woocommerce on your site you can check if any of that role was assigned to that page from WooCommerce > Settings > Advanced.

If that happens to be the situation please modify this code as suited:

add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/robots', function( $robots ) {
    if( is_cart() || is_checkout() || is_account_page() ) {
        $robots['index'] = 'index';
    }
    return $robots;
});

If you’re not sure how to add this code, you can follow this guide:

If you are still having difficulty, you can edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress logins in the designated Sensitive Data section for us to check this issue for you.

Please do take a complete backup of your website before sharing the information with us.

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:

Hello,

The option to Discourage search engines from indexing this site from WordPress Dashboard > Settings > Reading > Search engine visibility was enabled:
(See the image in the sensitive data section.)

We have disabled that option and your pages are now set to index.

Please check and confirm that this issue is resolved for you.

Thanks.

Hello,

You must have accidentally triggered this option as it cannot be done automatically.

Crawling and indexing can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days/weeks according to Google. Be patient and monitor the progress using the URL Inspection tool.

Let us know how it goes.

Thank you.
