    My Sitemap has a status code of 200.
    Although, some of the categories in it like pages, post and the main URL has no index tag on it. No matter what, I was not able to detect the issue how. I deactivated all the plugins, nothing happened. Also, I checked all the options, you recommended, and the sitemaps setting mentioned in the settings. Kindly help with this issue.

    Hello,

    Thank you for your query and we are so sorry about the trouble this must have caused.

    Please note that it is expected for the sitemap to have noindex as you don’t want the sitemap to get indexed on the SERP.

    Please refrain from submitting your sitemap in Google’s URL Inspection tool. The correct way to submit your sitemap to Google is by following this guide: https://rankmath.com/kb/submit-sitemap-to-google/

    Don’t hesitate to get in touch with us if you have any other questions.

    Hi Jeremy,

    Thank you for the response. although some of the sitemaps type, such as Post, Pages sitemap, are leading to “General HTTP error” and it says sitemap could not be read. Kindly help

    Hello,

    That error is different and not related to the noindex. That error indicates that there’s an issue with caching on the sitemaps so we recommend following this guide: https://rankmath.com/kb/exclude-sitemaps-from-caching/

    The preferred method is to use the transient option in that tutorial.

    Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.
