    Hello,
    i have the author profiles turned on, but would like to set them to noindex, unfortunately i have no settings in the corresponding options, i am only asked if i want to turn them on or off and as i said, they are set to on.

    So how can I set the author pages to noindex?

  • Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.

    You can disable author archives in Rank math > Titles & Meta > Authors. This will leave all author archives to redirect to homepage.

    Hope this helps you. Thank you.

    Hello,

    You should have can find the option to set your author archives to noindex under the robots meta:

    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

    Here is a screenshot for reference: https://i.rankmath.com/oMQ5Vj

    Setting the noindex tag in Titles and meta will only affect new archives
    . To change this option for existing users, you will have to enable the option to Add SEO metabox for Users in Rank math > Titles & Meta > Authors then edit individual users and change the index settings under the Advanced tab of Rank math metabox

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

    That’s the problem, I can activate author profiles, but the other options you see in your picture are all missing.
