Posts Not Indexed

Hello,

We apologize for the inconvenience you’re experiencing with your posts not being indexed. There could be several reasons why your posts are not being indexed, including issues with the site’s domain authority, frequency of posting, or the presence of a noindex attribute.

To address this issue, we recommend checking the following:

1. Double-check that your URLs haven’t been indexed by using the Google Search Console.
2. Ensure that your posts, pages, and website do not have the noindex attribute present.
3. Check your WordPress global settings to ensure they allow indexing.
4. Verify that your robots.txt rules allow your website to be indexed.
5. Check if your pages are crawled but not indexed.

If you’ve already checked these and your website still hasn’t been indexed, you may want to consider submitting a manual indexing request to Google. However, it’s important to note that relying solely on manual index submission may indicate underlying issues with your website that need to be addressed.

Additionally, you can use Rank Math’s Instant Indexing feature to inform search engines to index your pages instantly. You can enable this feature by navigating to your WordPress Dashboard → Rank Math SEO and following the steps outlined in our guide on How to Fix “Crawled – Currently Not Indexed” Error in Google Search Console.

If you’re still encountering difficulties after following these steps, please feel free to reach out to our support team directly from here, and we’ll be more than happy to assist you further.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to resolve this issue for you.

Best regards.

Hello,

You should remove the 1st sitemap since it is redirecting to your homepage only. You may edit the static robots.txt file in your website’s root directory.

In your Google Search Console account, you may need to revalidate the errors and give Google some time to recrawl your site.

The validation should be completed to determine the affected URLs for those errors.

Looking forward to helping you.

Hello,

Thank you for the update.

Sure, let us know how this goes after the revalidation process.

Meanwhile, if you have any other concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us anytime to assist you further.

Looking forward to helping you.
