    Hey, so in the Index Status, there is a long list of “/home” saying not indexed because meta tag is blocking the page. There is no page ending in /home and my actual home page https://panaeoluscoop.com/ is indexed with google. I’ve gone through all the settings (page is set to follow, global is set to follow, header is set to follow/index with 200ok message, WordPress is set to index website, no custom code etc…) and everything looks good. Why would this be showing up as not indexed in the Index Status when it is in fact indexed with google? I did a url inspection with google and they say all is fine with https://panaeoluscoop.com/ and there is no page called https://panaeoluscoop.com/home

    Thanks for your help!

    Hello,

    We apologize for the issue you are facing with the indexing status. It seems like there might be a misunderstanding regarding the URL structure or a potential misconfiguration that is causing the /home entry to appear in your Index Status.

    Here are a few things you can check:

    1. Check Rank Math’s Titles & Meta Settings: Ensure that there are no default settings in Rank Math that might be affecting the indexing of your homepage. Navigate to Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta and verify that the settings for your homepage are set to index.
      Set Noindex in Titles and Meta Settings

    2. Verify Robots.txt: Make sure that your robots.txt file does not have any rules that could be blocking the /home path. You can check this in the Rank Math settings under WordPress Dashboard → Rank Math SEO → General Settings → Edit Robots.txt.
      Edit robots.txt

    3. Manual Indexing Request: If everything seems correct, you might want to consider submitting a manual indexing request through Google Search Console to ensure that Google recognizes the correct indexing status of your homepage.

    If after checking these settings the issue persists, it may be beneficial to reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will take over and provide further assistance.

    Thank you for raising this concern, and we hope to resolve it for you soon!
