Page cannot be indexed: Excluded by ‘noindex’ tag

Hello, I’m sorry to hear that you’re facing an issue with one of your pages being excluded from indexing due to a ‘noindex’ tag. This status indicates that Google has found a noindex tag on your page, which instructs it not to include the page in its search index.

To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:

1. Identify the Page: First, check which page is affected by this status in your Google Search Console. You can navigate to the Pages section and click on Not indexed to see the details.
   

2. Remove the NoIndex Tag: If you want this page to be indexed, you need to remove the noindex tag from the page’s HTML code. This can be done through your WordPress editor or by checking any plugins that might be adding this tag.
   

3. Check Plugins and Themes: Sometimes, plugins or themes may add a noindex tag unintentionally. Review your active plugins and theme settings to ensure none are adding this tag.

4. Recheck in Google Search Console: After making the changes, go back to Google Search Console and request indexing for the page again.
