Rank Math – Noindex option missing for posts

    Hello Rank Math team,

    I’m using the latest version of your plugin and I noticed that the “noindex” setting for blog posts no longer appears under the “Titles & Meta” section. Now I only see two options under Sitemap Settings: “Include in sitemap” and “Include in HTML sitemap”.

    I want to prevent all blog posts from being indexed by Google.
    Could you please let me know how to apply a global noindex to posts in the current version?

    Thank you,
    Shayan

  • Hello,

    We apologize for the issue you are facing with the missing "noindex" option for your posts in Rank Math. To apply a global noindex to all posts, you can follow these steps:

    1. Navigate to Rank Math SEO Settings: Go to your WordPress dashboard and click on Rank Math in the left sidebar.
    2. Titles & Meta: Click on Titles & Meta.
    3. Global Meta Settings: Here, you should find options to configure the global meta settings for your website. Look for the Robots Meta section.
    4. Set to Noindex: You can set the default robots meta for posts to noindex. This will ensure that all new posts created will follow this setting.

    If you want to apply this setting to existing posts, you can use the bulk editing feature:

    • Go to Posts in your WordPress dashboard.
    • Select the posts you want to set as noindex using the checkboxes.
    • From the Bulk Actions dropdown, select Set to noindex and click Apply.
