Hi Reinelle,
Thanks for the reply.
Yes, I’ve seen some posts have been indexed and are showing, but some haven’t. Is that normal?
Looks like some are Discovered – currently not indexed and also Crawled – currently not indexed
Hello,
This is not an issue and there is nothing to worry about since Google has already discovered these URLs. All you need is to give it some time and they should be indexed eventually.
For feed URLs,
You cannot noindex feeds but you can disallow them from the robots.txt file at WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > General Settings > Edit Robots.txt
User-Agent: *
Disallow: /feed/
Please note that some options are only available when you enable the Advanced Mode in Rank Math. We give you an option to choose between the two during the setup wizard and you must have chosen to use the Easy Mode.
You can switch to the Advanced Mode from the top-right corner at WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > Dashboard

Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

Thanks Anas that’s good to know.
I’ve just uploaded another image of my edit robot txt, is that correct as it is now I should I change it to the image you posted?
Cheers
Hello,
If you are not able to edit the robots.txt file from Rank Math, please make sure you delete the robots.txt file present in the root folder of your website.
You may need to contact the web host, they will help you locate the file.
Alternatively, you can use this plugin to disable the feeds:

Here is a detailed guide on disabling the feeds:

I hope this helps. Looking forward to helping you.
sorry just to clarify, I should paste the following in the edit robot txt and that will sort it?
User-Agent: *
Disallow: /feed/
Hello,
Yes, that text in the robots.txt will prevent Google from crawling the feed URLs.
Hope that helps.
Excellent, thanks for the support guys, great customer service 👍
