Robots No-index

    Rank Math free

    Hi I just converted today from Yoast to Rankmath. My site analysis is showing multiple pages with robots no-index despite having index checked in the advanced tab.

    I wouldn’t be bothered with the site analysis since sometimes these tools glitch out, but when the issue also appeared on google search console, this is when I decided it was time to reach out for help.

    There is something I did today, I’ve redirected around 3 or 4 permalinks to shorten them in wordpress. These are some of the pages (not all) that are showing with this no-index error. Could you please help me out resolve this? I think it’s very possible this is a legacy issue from the time I had yoast and was carried over during the transition.

    It’s worth noting I’ve checked my robots.txt and it doesn’t block any of these pages, so I am extremely confused how this issue is even showing up.

    Appreciate your help and prompt support.

    Best Regards,
    Tareq Helmi

    Hello,

    Thank you for getting in touch and I am extremely sorry about the trouble this might have caused.

    There are a few things you must check for in order to see why the posts aren’t getting indexed.

    1. Make sure the post is not selected as ‘noindex’ in WP > Posts > Your Post > Advanced Tab in Rank Math.

    2. Ensure that the noindex is not selected for Global or Posts meta:

    If this doesn’t help, we might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please share some of the affected URLs then edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress & FTP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.
