Hello,
I’m sorry to hear that you are facing issues with your sitemap not being indexed by Google and receiving a ‘noindex’ error. To resolve this problem, you can follow these steps:
-

Search Engine Visibility: Ensure that the Search engine visibility option is unchecked in WordPress. You can find this setting by navigating to the left side of the WordPress admin dashboard → Settings → Reading. Here is a screenshot to help you locate the setting:
-
Validate Fix in Google Search Console: After making the necessary changes, update your sitemap, then go to your Google Search Console and choose the Validate Fix option to inform the search engine about the resolution. This step helps Google recognize the changes made. Here is an image showing how to validate the fix:

Hello,
We have replied to your other ticket and explained why the sitemaps are set to Noindex. Please submit them to the Sitemap section of your GSC account, not to the URL inspection tool.
This ticket will now be closed. You can open a new one if you need any further assistance.
Thank you.
