    Hello Ripon,

    Please note that the indexing plugin does not guarantee indexing.

    I can’t recommend using it on live websites unless the pages contain Job Posting or Live Streaming Structured data, at this time.

    We, however, did constantly use the plugin on our money sites since January and had good results from it. But, we are not using it anymore after Google mentioned that it is meant only for 2 types of websites.

    They did not mention anything related to a penalty but it’s good to be safe. 🤞

    With that said, 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.

    2. Ensure that the noindex is not selected for Global or Posts meta: http://i.mythemeshop.com/b9kMVI
    3. Check the sitemap settings and check if the posts are setup to be included in the sitemaps: http://i.mythemeshop.com/KRxIvR

    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.

    Hi Mark,

    Please use the API Console to Publish/update the page once, then you can use the Get status action.

    Let me know how this goes. Thank you.
