Random tags pages Marked as Noindexed

Hello,

I’m sorry to hear that you are facing issues with removing the “noindex” tag from certain tags on your website. To remove the “noindex” tag from specific pages, you can follow these steps:

1. Identify the affected pages by checking the Google Search Console:

   • Navigate to the Pages section of Google Search Console.
   • Click on Not indexed and then on “Excluded by ‘noindex’ tag” status.
   • This will display a list of all pages affected by this issue.

2. Remove the NoIndex tag from those pages:

   • You can remove the NoIndex tag directly from the page settings in your WordPress dashboard.
   • Go to Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta → Posts/Pages and ensure that the NoIndex option is disabled for the specific pages.

3. Check the Search Engine Visibility settings:

   • Go to Settings → Reading in your WordPress dashboard.
   • Ensure that the checkbox labeled Discourage search engines from indexing this site is unchecked.

If you have already tried these steps and are still facing issues, please ensure that the pages are not blocked from crawling through robots.txt.

If you need further assistance, feel free to reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you promptly.

Thank you for reaching out with your concern.

Hello,

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

Could you please try to activate the Rank Math plugin again on your website?

Once done, please head over to your WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > Titles & Meta > General and from there make sure the Noindex Empty Category and Tag Archives option is disabled and see if that works for you:

Let us know how it goes. Looking forward to helping you.

Thank you.

Hello,

In that case, we might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress login in the designated Sensitive Data section.

Please do take a complete backup of your website before sharing the information with us.

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:

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):
