    Although I set the rank math settings for tag pages in the admin panel as no-index and no-follow, I see that pages starting with /tag in the page source code are still marked as index and follow. Here are a few screenshots. Unfortunately I cannot overcome this problem

    Hello,

    We apologize for the inconvenience you’re experiencing with the Rank Math settings for tag pages. We understand the frustration this may cause.

    To address this issue, please follow these steps:

    1. Go to your WordPress Dashboard and navigate to Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta → Misc. Pages.

    2. In the Misc. Pages section, you will find the Noindex Paginated Single Pages option. Please ensure that this option is enabled to set noindex on paginated pages and prevent them from showing up in search results.

    If you have already followed these steps and are still encountering issues, please provide us with more details about your setup, such as any other SEO plugins you may be using, or any custom code that could be affecting the settings.

    If you need further assistance, please assign this ticket to a human agent using the available buttons, and we will be more than happy to help you resolve this issue.

    Thank you for reaching out to us with your concern.

    Hello,

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

    We checked the page and we can see it is already set to noindex and nofollow:

    In this case, please try to clear your website cache and browser cache and check again.

    However, it looks like you’re currently using the Rank Math PRO plugin on your website, but the account you have used to open this ticket is the Rank Math free version.

    Can you please search and forward a receipt from FastSpring.com so we can locate your account and verify it?

    Let us know how it goes. Looking forward to helping you.

    Thank you.

    Hi Rakibuzzaman, thanks for your reply. When I set the Robots Meta settings to no-index and no-follow from Titles and Meta > Global meta settings, the tag pages automatically change to no-index and no-follow. I was checking it while waiting for an answer from you, you can check it again now. When I select index from the global meta settings, the tag pages automatically change to index. Tag Archives Robots in Titles and Meta> Posts> Tags section ignores Meta settings.

    Hi Rakibuzzaman again, I solved the problem. It was a problem with Elementor scripts, separating the archive designs for tag pages and normal pages solved my problem. Thanks for your help.

    Great
