  • Hello, I’m sorry to hear that you’re having trouble removing the noindex tags from your posts and pages. Here are some steps you can follow to resolve this issue:

    1. Check Titles & Meta Settings

    First, ensure that the noindex tag isn’t set as a default value in your Titles & Meta settings:

    • Go to Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta tab.
    • Review each section to confirm that the settings align with your preferences. If you want certain pages indexed, make sure to select the Index Robots Meta tag for those pages.

    Set Noindex in Titles and Meta Settings

    2. Remove NoIndex from Individual Posts/Pages

    If you need to change the noindex setting for specific posts or pages:

    • Edit the post/page in question.
    • In the Rank Math meta box, ensure that the noindex option is unchecked.

    3. Use Bulk Actions to Change NoIndex Value

    If you have multiple posts to update, you can use bulk actions:

    • Go to the WordPress Posts menu.
    • From the Rank Math filter at the top-right, select Articles Noindexed and click Filter.
    • Select the checkbox next to each post title you want to change.
    • From the Bulk Actions drop-down menu, select Set to Index and click Apply.

    Set to Index

    4. Review Plugins and Themes

    Sometimes, other plugins or themes may add noindex tags. Check if any active plugins or your theme settings are causing this issue and adjust accordingly.
