noindex detected ‘robots’ meta

    Hi
    I’ve got an error message in Google console as above and the Rankmath Analytics Index Status is showing as no-index due to meta tag.

    However, in the post under advanced it is shown as index. I’ve checked everywhere that I can think of but can’t find where the no-index meta tag is to change it to index.

    Thank you

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math, and sorry for any inconvenience caused.

    I checked the page source, the page is set to noindex.
    Check screenshot in the sensitive data section.

    However, as you have already set this page to index in Rank Math Advanced Tab, 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.

    We really look forward to helping you.

    Yes I saw the noindex on the page source too but couldn’t work out why as I have it set to index. I will check the plugins as advised.
    Thank you.

    I’ve gone into TRoubleshooting mode and with everything disabled, including Rankmath, it is still showing noindex.

    So, it can’t be a Rankmath issue but no idea what is causing it.

    Hello,

    In this case, it is possible that the theme is adding the noindex tag, activate the default theme in troubleshooting mode, and check the page source.

    Hope that helps.

    Thank you.
