    Hello,

    Directory Listing seems to be enabled on your server !
    However, the server is ok and the htaccess also: the line is present in the htaccess : Options -Indexes

    I do not understand what is happening ?

    Could you tell me what I should do now?

    Thanks in advance,

    Cordially,
    Claude

    Hello,

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

    Could your please share some screenshots of the issue using a tool like imgur.com as it’ll help us understand the insights of the issue?

    But for what we know, a website is nothing more than a collection of files and directories on a web server, identical to what you’d find on your own computer. Although a web server can display certain files and folders, this option must be deactivated for security reasons.

    Rank Math checks to see if directory listing is enabled on your website and alerts you if it is.
    Contacting your hosting provider is the simplest approach to disable the directory listing. If you’d like to disable the access yourself, then here is a helpful guide on how to do it for Apache Servers.

    Looking forward to hear from you. We really look forward to helping you.

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    Directory Listings

    I called my host and everything is OK. I really don’t see what it is.

    Cordially,

    Hello,

    If you are certain that the directory listing has been addressed, it could be that you are seeing old data in the SEO analysis and not the updated test.

    Please head over to your WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > Status & Tools > Database Tools, click on the button “Clear SEO Analysis” and re-run the SEO Analysis again.
