I have just added your plugin in an attempt to fix 16 posts that are showing on Google Search Console as excluded by noindex tag.

Could you walk me through what I need to do to fix this please.

Thanks, I had spotted that article but I don’t have the index status tap showing after install – is that a feature I have to upgrade to get?

Here are two of the 16 Google Console say are being excluded.

Hello,

Thank you for sharing the URLs.

The /feed/ URLs are RSS feed links and are expected to have a noindex tag. This is normal and doesn’t affect your main content’s indexing.

We can confirm that by querying the content URL directly. Here’s a screenshot for your reference:

You either safely ignore these URLs from your Search Console or submit them to GSC’s URL inspection tool to locate the referral page where Google discovered this URL and resolve this by making sure the feed URL is not internally linked within the content of the referral page.

Don’t hesitate to get in touch with us if you have any other questions.
