    Hello
    I created a sitemap for the pages, posts, and categories. I submitted the sitemap links in Google Webmaster and there wasn’t no problem. The problem is, there are other subcategories of my website I would want to be indexed by they are marked by Google Webmaster as no-index links. How to get around this?

  • Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    Could you please check the individual URLs tagged by Google as marked noindex and ensure you have not marked them as noindex. You can check this by going to the URL(s), right click on the page and check and robots meta(<meta name="robots"..>)

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

    Hello,

    After checking the affected links, the source code shows you are using the All in One SEO plugin and it is setting those categories as no-index. Could you check it? It doesn’t seem you have Rank Math enabled in those pages.

    Looking forward to help you.

    Hi Timmy,

    We are extremely sorry for any issues you have been facing.

    It seems like you switched plugins already.

    Please let us know if you would like to give it another shot and we will get this checked by our dev. team.

    Most of the issues in GSC are outdated which means that you should check the last crawl date on those errors. If the last crawl was after you switched to Rank Math, then it is likely a setting somewhere in Rank Math that you need to change.

    Otherwise, it just means that you had issues previously and Google just hasn’t crawled your website recently to see the issues have been fixed.

    Hi Uzair. Thanks 4 assistance. Hopefully next time Google index my site there’ll be no problem. But I’d appreciate it if I’d be able to add the above links for subcategories in the sitemap index. Thanks.

    Hi Timothy,

    It would be my pleasure to help you.

    Those category archive links you shared above are already present in your sitemap:

    All the URLs are indexable as well:

    To verify, you can use this 3rd party website as well:
    https://smallseotools.com/meta-tags-analyzer/

    The URLs are indexable and already present in the sitemap. It is just about time that they will be indexed as well.

    Let me know if you have any other queries.

    Thanks
