    In my SEO analysis, I am getting failed on this item – Directory Listing seems to be enabled on your server. But I’ve tested to see if I can access my directory externally and it gives 403 Forbidden error. I have cleared cache and redone the test but I’m still getting the same response from SEO analysis.

  • Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.

    You can check your site URL https://seositecheckup.com/tools/directory-browsing-test and confirm if the directory listing is really disabled. If it is, please clear your cache, head to Rank math > Status & Tools > Database Tools and Flush SEO analysis then go back and analyse your site again. Let us know how this goes.

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

    Hi Michael,

    Thanks for getting back to me. I have checked my site URL on that website link and as I thought my directory is disabled. I did the next steps you outlined, but it is still saying that my directory is enabled.

    Hello Caroline,

    Could you please share your site URL so we can test from our end.

    Please note that the tests are only there for our own reference and if they don’t seem to apply on your site you can safely ignore them.

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

    Hello,

    I think we might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.
    Sensitive Data Section

    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:

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/temporary-login-without-password/

    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):

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-security-audit-log/

    We really look forward to helping you.

    The issue has resolved itself somehow. Thanks for your help.
