Noindex detected in ‘robots’ meta tag

Hello,

I’m sorry to hear about the issue you are facing with Google Search Console showing that some pages can’t be indexed due to the ‘noindex’ detected in the ‘robots’ meta tag. To resolve this, we need to ensure that the ‘noindex’ directive is not present in the meta tag of those pages.

To remove the ‘noindex’ directive from specific pages like member profile pages, you can follow these steps:

1. Access the WordPress admin area.
2. Navigate to the specific member profile page, for example, https://www.contentkingapp.com/academy/robotstxt/?utm_source=Rank+Math#wordpress
3. Edit the page and look for the Rank Math SEO settings.
4. In the Rank Math SEO settings, ensure that the ‘noindex’ option is disabled for this page.

If you are unable to find the Rank Math SEO settings on the page, you can also check the global settings in Rank Math SEO to ensure that there are no site-wide settings causing this issue.

If you need further assistance or if you encounter any difficulties while making these changes, please reply here, and a human agent from our support team will assist you promptly.

Thank you for bringing this concern to our attention.

Hello,

Thank you for your patience.

We’ve checked the page, and indeed it is set to noindex.

For initial troubleshooting, please check if those pages are registered in Rank Math > Titles & Meta > [Post Type] where you can set their robots meta.

If not, then you may use this filter to set those pages with /member/ in the URLs:

add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/robots', function( $robots ) {
	$url = home_url( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] );
	if( (strpos($url,"member") !== false) )  {
		$robots["index"] = 'index';
		$robots["follow"] = 'follow';
	}
	return $robots;
});

And here’s a guide on how to add a filter to your site:

Hope that helps.
