    Hi, I am using the rank math SEO plugin, I am trying to rank my product categories pages on google. I am using woocommerce. I have went into the titles and meta setting and changed product categories to index, I have even went into the individual product category page using the rank seo metabox and changed the settings to index. However, this changes refuse to work. All product categories pages are still set to: “No-Index”, including each individual product page. How can i resolve this?

    Hello,

    I’m sorry to hear about the issue you are facing with your WooCommerce product category pages being set to “No-Index” despite changing the settings in Rank Math SEO.

    To resolve this, you can follow these steps:

    1. Check Rank Math’s Titles & Meta Settings:

      • Navigate to WordPress Dashboard → Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta.
      • Double-check each tab to ensure that the settings for product categories are set to “Index” as per your preference.

    2. Check Rank Math Metabox:

      • Open the individual product category page in the WordPress Editor.
      • Ensure that the Rank Math Metabox is available.
      • If not, make sure you’ve enabled Add SEO Controls from Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta Settings → Product Categories.
      • In the Rank Math Metabox, choose the Advanced Tab.
      • Check if the Robots Meta is set to “No Index,” then select the Index checkbox and update the page.

    After making these changes, don’t forget to save them. These adjustments should help in resolving the “No-Index” issue on your WooCommerce product category pages.

    Hello,

    Thank you for your patience.

    For additional troubleshooting, please ensure that this option is not enabled on your WordPress dashboard > Settings > Reading.

    discourage

    If that option is checked, even if Rank Math options are set to Index, the website as a whole will be marked as NoIndex.

    If the issue still persists, assuming you are using the latest version of all the plugins and the themes (please update if not yet), this can be caused by conflicting plugins or theme on your site.

    To determine that, please follow this troubleshooting guide:

    Here is a video you can follow as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcIWRhcUP2c

    Only the site admin would know and your users won’t be affected by this troubleshooting.

    Let us know how this goes.
