    Hello, I have been trying for several weeks to submit the sitemap for Comenta.click. The URL is: https://comenta.click/sitemap_index.xml
    However, Google Search Console gives me an error: “Couldn’t fetch.”

    When inspecting the sitemap page in Search Console, it shows the following:

    Page cannot be indexed: Excluded by ‘noindex’ tag

    The site is hosted on GoDaddy on a managed WordPress plan. I contacted them, and they confirmed that there are no issues on their end and suggested I check with the plugin providers.

    I have already deleted the plugin, reinstalled it, and cleared the cache. I don’t know what else to do.

    I need help! Thanks,
    Matías Rossi

    Hello,

    We apologize for the issue you are facing with your sitemap submission. The "Couldn’t fetch" error in Google Search Console can be frustrating, especially when it indicates that the page cannot be indexed due to a ‘noindex’ tag.

    Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve this issue:

    1. Check Rank Math Settings

    Ensure that your posts are set to index. You can do this by navigating to Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta. In the Robots Meta settings, make sure the Index checkbox is enabled for your posts.

    Index Titles and Meta settings

    2. Validate Your Sitemap

    Use the Validate XML Sitemap tool to confirm that your sitemap is correctly configured. Enter your sitemap URL and click VALIDATE SITEMAP. If there are any issues, they will be highlighted.

    3. Flush the Cache

    If your sitemap appears outdated, you may need to flush the sitemap cache. Go to Rank Math SEO → Sitemap Settings, increase the value of Links Per Sitemap by one, and then save your settings. After that, navigate to Settings → Permalinks and click Save Changes to ensure the current settings are applied.

    4. Check for NoIndex Tags

    Make sure that the pages you want indexed do not have a noindex tag set. You can check this in the Rank Math Metabox when editing a post or page. Ensure that the Robots Meta is set to Index.

    5. Resubmit Your Sitemap

    After making these changes, remove your sitemap from Google Search Console and then submit it again.
