    Hi! my website is having the above-mentioned issue. Website URL https://www.ninja-supplement.com/

    Initially, things were going on smoothly, until recently, when I submitted a certain blog URL to Google for indexing. Then I found that my entire website was blocked by no index x robot tag HTTP header.

    In a bid to identify the cause, I deactivated all plugins, reactivating them one by one, and I found Rank Math as the culprit.

    At Present, Rank math is deactivated and no SEO plugin installed yet.

    I hope to get a solution, so I may reactivate the plugin.
    Thanks, Richards.

    Hello,

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

    Could you please double-check if you’ve accidentally set the Global Robots Meta to No Index? You can check this from your WordPress admin area > Rank Math > Titles & Meta > Global Meta > Robots Meta.

    If yes, then please set it to Index to fix the isuse.

    Also, please confirm that the global Posts/Page robots meta are also set to Index. You can check this from your WordPress admin area > Rank Math > Titles & Meta > Posts/Pages > Post/Page Robots Meta.

    For more details, please refer to this troubleshooting guide: https://rankmath.com/kb/error-submitted-url-marked-noindex/

    Once done, please clear your website’s cache and see if the posts/pages are set to index.

    Please let us know how that goes.

    Thank you.

    Thanks for your prompt response.

    However, I have set it up exactly as you described. I cross-checked it again. Still the same issue.

    Hi! I observed something. The main URL and blog post/categories URLs are indexable, but the sitemap URLs are not.

    is it something I should not worry about, but I know it wasn’t like that before?

    Hello,

    The sitemaps are set to noindex by default as you do not want them to get indexed and appear in the search results.

    The sitemaps should only be submitted in the Sitemaps section in the Search Console and not in the URL Inspection tool.

    I checked the homepage and some of the URLs on your website, they are correctly set to index.

    Can you please share the affected URLs that are showing the noindex error so we can check further?

    We really look forward to helping you.

    Everything is ok now.
    I am new to blogging and SEO. SO, I am still learning, and Rank Math made things pretty easier for beginners like me. Lolz!

    Thanks for the support.
