Hello,
Thanks for contacting Rank Math, and sorry for any inconvenience caused.
I checked a few pages on your website, they are correctly set to index.
Can you please share some of the URLs where Google is showing the noindex error?
We look forward to helping you.
Yes these for example: https://vptab.se/svetsfixturer/ and this https://vptab.se/om-oss/
There are more too but just some examples.
Hello,
I checked the affected pages and they seem to be set to index in their robots meta already. Also, they are listed in your sitemap so Google should be able to constantly crawl them.
Can you please try clearing your website cache and allow Google to crawl them again? You may also submit them to your GSC’s URL inspection tool.
Let us know how that goes. Looking forward to helping you.
Ok, it says that all urls has been found in the sitemap in google search console but it still doesn’t index those pages. I tried clearing all cache now. I found this database error related to rankmath. Does that have anything to do with that?

Hello,
The error you have shared in your screenshot seems to point to the missing redirections table on your site.

Please note that some options are only available when you enable the Advanced Mode in Rank Math. If it’s not showing, you must have chosen to use Easy Mode. Please follow the steps in this link to switch to Advanced Mode:

I hope that helps.
Thank you.
That fixed that error but the main issue still is present. I just got another email from the google search console that my pages failed to index due to it finding the tag noindex…
It seems to only index the pages I have put in manually in the search bar in google search console and pressed to be indexed manually. Why is that?
Hello,
Google should automatically crawl and index the URLs that are set to index.
The two URLs that you shared above are already set to index
Can you please share a few more URLs that are showing the noindex error?
We look forward to helping you.
Hello,
The affected pages you shared are already set to index in their robots meta tag. I also went ahead and checked your robots.txt file and there isn’t seem to be any directives that will cause these pages to be seen as noindex by the search engines.
Can you please try submitting these URLs to Google Search Console’s URL inspection tool? Let us know how that goes.
Looking forward to helping you.
Ok I have sumbitted all pages a couple of days ago and now they seem to be indexed. It’s just weird that I would need to manually index the pages.
Hello,
We are glad the issue is resolved.
Sometimes, Google might take some more time to crawl the URLs, in such cases, to force Google to crawl the URLs, you would need to submit them manually in the URL Inspection tool.
Hope this helps.
Thank you.
