    Rank Math free

    hello. I was using Rank Math well in WordPress.

    I registered the sitemap in Google Search Console and the articles were indexed well, but the two recently written articles were not indexed.
    When I run a real-time test in Google Search Console, it says ”
    The page could not be indexed: Blocked by robots.txt” message popped up. So I tried to solve the noindex related problem in various ways, but I couldn’t find anything wrong with my site. In the meantime, I resubmitted the sitemap this time. When I tried it, I couldn’t because the message that the sitemap was html appeared. It seems to be a rank math related error, but what should I do?
    For reference, the plugins I use are amp, coverter for media, rank math, wp fasterest cache, jetpack, google site kit, and easy table of contents. I don’t write anything special. Also, I am using generatepress as a theme.

    How can i solve this problem?
