Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
These pages should be are set to noindex by default. I would recommend checking if they appear present in the sitemap. This error suggests that the pages have been erroneously added to your sitemap when they should not be.
Since you have set them to noindex via the Rank Math meta box you can then proceed to do the following:
1. Head over to WordPress Dashboard > Settings > Permalinks
Hit the save button once.
2. Go to WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > Sitemap Settings.
Click on the Save button and then verify that these pages are not in your sitemap as well.
Check if the error disappears and if it doesn’t then delete the old sitemap from Google Search Console and submit the new sitemap.
We really look forward to helping you.
Thank you.
Hi,
Thanks for your help.
I’ve tried what you told me but I have the same issue after uploading the new sitemap.
I don’t know how can I be sure that “cart” “account” and “order” aren’t in the site map.
Here’s what I have :
https://mywebsite.com/post-sitemap.xml
https://mywebsite.com/page-sitemap.xml
https://mywebsite.com/product-sitemap.xml
https://mywebsite.com/category-sitemap.xml
However, the pages cart/account/order are written as :
N/A
No Index
Schema: Article
In the “pages” section of WordPress.
What should I do ?
Hello,
Thank you for getting back to us,
You can check if the cart and my account pages are in the sitemap by checking your page sitemap to be precise: https://yourdomain.com/page-sitemap.xml
To also exclude them from the sitemap you can add the page ids in the option to exclude posts/pages in Rank math > Sitemap Settings > General, as shown:
And, here’s how you find the post/page ID inside WordPress: https://mythemeshop.com/blog/how-to-find-post-category-tag-comments-or-user-id-in-wordpress/
Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
Thank you Brian,
The cart, myaccount pages are not in https://mywebsite.com/sitemap_index.xml
However I still have the issue after reuploading the site map.
Is there any other thing to do ?
Hello,
Thank you for the update, and sorry for the delay.
Since the cart or myaccount pages are not included in your sitemap, could you please try removing all your sitemaps submitted and resubmit your main sitemap only /sitemap_index.xml?
If the issue still persists, please share your website URL to further check. You can add them in the sensitive data section
It is completely secure, and only our support staff has access to that section.
Thank you, and looking forward to your update.
Hello,
I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?
Thank you.
Hi, the error still persists
Hello,
So long as your pages are not in the sitemap you should not be having the notice on GSC. Since you have resubmitted the sitemap again you can wait a while to see if this notice on the search console disappears. I actually did not find any of these pages from your frontend, but I understand that you are using WooCommerce which is the reason.
We are looking forward to helping you.
Thank you.
