The system detects “noindex” in the HTTP header “X-Robots-Tag”.

Hello,

I apologize for the issue you are facing with the "noindex" setting in the HTTP header "X-Robots-Tag" for your articles in different languages on your website.

To set these pages to index, you can follow these steps:

1. Modify the X-Robots-Tag in the htaccess file:

   • If you are using an Apache server, you can add the following code snippet to your website’s htaccess file:

     
     Header set X-Robots-Tag "index, follow"
     

   • For Nginx server, you can add the following code snippet:

     location ~* .pdf$ 
     {
     add_header X-Robots-Tag "index, follow";
     }

2. Check Global Settings in Rank Math:

   • Ensure that the global settings in Rank Math SEO are not set to "noindex." You can check this at WordPress Dashboard → Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta.

3. Review Robots.txt Rules:

   • Make sure that your robots.txt file does not contain any disallow tags that could prevent indexing. You can edit the robots.txt file using Rank Math at WordPress Dashboard → Rank Math SEO → General Settings → Edit Robots.txt.

By following these steps, you should be able to set your English articles in different languages to index on your website.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting us. We apologize for any inconvenience this issue may have caused.

We tested the referenced URLs and found they were not blocked by X-Robots tag, and neither is their meta robot set to noindex.

Which tool/system is detecting those pages as being set to noindex.

You can use tools like Imgur for screenshots or Loom for screencasts.

We look forward to helping you further.

Thanks.
