    Today I was surprised to find an increase in non-indexed pages. This issues starts on march 12 (when i switched from yoast to rank math)with 200 urls and today i found 268 not indexed pages. Only now i’ve noticed that

    Google searche console say: URL contain a tag “noindex”. Obviusly is not so! and they’re not

    THis issue affect many many products such this(once of my first product) inserted 5 years ago. Please links in sensitive data

    Thanks for help

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    I have checked those pages but I don’t see any no-index tag in the source code as you can see in the screencast I attached in the Sensitive Data section.

    Could you check it?

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

    Yes no index tag but google says that in search console. In fact these page and other can’t be found in serp, just check site:https://”url”…. no results . i’m struggling.

    Maybe a plugin conflict? I’ve no idea for this 🙁

    just for info: i’m using wp rocket for cache and stamped for reviews in rich snippet

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    The plugins you are using are compatible with Rank math. I have tried to check your sitemap and it leads to a 404 page.

    Could you please do the following:

    1. Head over to WordPress Dashboard > Settings > Permalinks

    Hit the save button once.

    2. Go to WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > Sitemap Settings

    Hit the save button once.

    You should also add your sitemap URLs to be excluded from your caching plugin

    check if the sitemap is updating your content, then resubmit your sitemap on GSC and let us know how it goes.

    Hi, last night i did what you told me. Today still nothing from google search . This is a response for a page index request:

    Hello,

    Hi Alessandro,

    I see a none tag in your robots meta that should not be there.

    Did you import your SEO data from another SEO plugin? You mentioned you were using Yoast but it would be great if you can tell us that you imported the data from it as well.

    Are you facing this issue on newly published products too or just the products where you imported the information from Yoast?

    We might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please include your WP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.
    Sensitive Data Section

    It is completely secure and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the below plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead:
    https://wordpress.org/plugins/temporary-login-without-password/

    You can use the above plugin in conjunction with the WP Security Audit Log to monitor what changes our staff might make on your website (if any):
    https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-security-audit-log/

    We really look forward to helping you.

    Hello yea. I used Yoast yes and imported settings from it automatically. THis issue it’s happening only with “Some” old products and category page(Not with the new).

    Thanks for help. You know i’m loosing organic traffic due to this . Hope to solve it soon.

    i’ve created admin account for you. Check sensitive data . thanks much

    Hi Alessandro,

    I have added the following code to your theme’s functions.php file:

    /**
     * Rank Math: filter the robots meta data.
     *
     * @param array $robots The meta robots directives.
     */
    add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/robots', function( $robots ) {
    	unset( $robots['none'] );
    	return $robots;
    });

    That has removed the none tag from your products and they will be indexed fine now.

    However, we need to find the real cause of this issue so I would request you to keep the logins enabled for 48 hours so our dev. team can check this in detail and ensure this never happens again.

    Thank you.

    Hello, thanks much for help. Now i’ll try with google search console.

    This code works only for products? or for all urls?

    i’ve some category pages(duplicated 2nd , 3rd page… setted to “noindex”. They wil be indexed?

    In meantime Thanks much.

    Tell me if is necessary to turn off any plugins. thanks again

    in the last post i mean: i can’t see Rank math setting tab in products and category page(backend). In fact seems no seo data displayed at moment.

    What’s happening?

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    Allow me to consult with the dev team and get back to you on this matter.

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

    Hi agai, seems those issues are solved now.

    I’ve seen some little changes in rank math tabs/option and also in WordPress. Any update done? Seems i need to upgrade php version

    Thanks

    Hello,

    As far as I know, there were no updates but maybe some other staff member did something. Let us know if you face the issue again so we can continue helping you.

    About the PHP version, which one are you using? Why do you think you will need to update it? Due to an error message?

    Looking forward to help you.
