Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
First of all, welcome to Rank math, we are happy to have you with us! Don’t worry, I have moved it to the right forum.
I will share with you a small guide to let you check if you have any issues in your site and if your issue is still there after that, we will be happy to continue helping you.
There are a few things you must check for in order to see why the posts aren’t getting indexed.
1. Make sure the post is not selected as ‘noindex’ in WP > Posts > Your Post > Advanced Tab in Rank Math.
Screenshot:
2. Ensure that the noindex is not selected for Global or Posts meta:
3. Check the sitemap settings and check if the posts are setup to be included in the sitemaps:
Please note that it is completely upto Google if they want to index or not index your website. So, if you haven’t willingly or accidentally made your posts noindex and Google still isn’t indexing your page – it means that either Google doesn’t want to index or hasn’t crawled your page yet because it hasn’t allocated that much crawl budget to your website.
Please check this website for more details.
Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
Hey! Thank you for you’re response.
I have checked all the steps you asked.
I was not able to find step number to because l don’t see advanced setting when im inside my post on WP (See pic of what l do see)
But all the other steps were checked and showing me index. I checked the index URL and pages and posts are there.
My issue is that when search on google: Site:decordelsol.com its showing me mata describe, title and pages that are not updates, so its like google is not able to update my new information while l update my website (more than a month ago).
Any idea of what could be the problem and how l can fix it? So far the steps you showed me here l checked and they seems correct.
Thank you.
Hello,
To be able to see the Advanced tab, you need to switch Rank Math to the Advanced mode as I show you in this screencast: https://i.rankmath.com/BySs76
The next step is to check if your title/description is properly set up in the page source:

You can use this tool for the same as well: https://www.heymeta.com/
If it matches your settings, then you must check if Google has seen the changes already or not.
For that, please check when the Google cache was updated for that page:
a.
b.
If the cache date is from before adding the new meta description, then you just have to wait for Google to re-crawl and re-index the page with the new info. If the date is after you made the changes,
Do note that if everything’s fine and Google still decides to show a different meta title/description for your search keyword, there is nothing you can do as Google sometimes ignores the custom meta info altogether and show something from the page’s content that matches the search intent better.
The best you can do is optimize your meta tags to try and match the intent of the search/keyword.

Why the search result title might differ from the page's <title> tag
Hope that helps. If you have any further question(s), please let us know. Thank you.
