    Hi, we’re running across a very peculiar issue. Pages that have been set to Index in the Robots Meta are actually being set to NoIndex, NoFollow by the RankMath plugin. Not sure how to fix this.

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting us and we regret the inconvenience caused.

    Could you please check if you’ve enabled/checked the “Discourage search engines from indexing this site” option from your WordPress admin area > Settings > Reading?
    Discourage search engines from indexing this site option.

    If yes, then please disable that option to fix the issue.

    If that’s not the case, then assuming you are using the latest version of all the plugins and the themes (please update if not yet), it would seem like a conflict with one of the plugins or the theme you are using.

    To determine that, please follow this troubleshooting guide:
    https://rankmath.com/kb/check-plugin-conflicts/

    Here is a video you can follow as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcIWRhcUP2c

    Only the site admin would know and your users won’t be affected by this troubleshooting.

    Please let us know how that goes.

    Thank you.

    Discourage search engines from indexing this site was the issue. What a silly mistake.
    Thanks for pointing this out!
