Products set to noindex showing as index in the exported csv file

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to us regarding the issue you are facing with your products being set to noindex but showing as index in the exported CSV file. I understand the confusion this may have caused.

To address this problem, you can follow these steps to ensure that your products are correctly exported with the noindex status reflected in the CSV file:

1. Check Rank Math Metabox:

   • Open the product in the WordPress Editor.
   • Click on the Rank Math SEO icon to access the Rank Math Metabox.
   • Ensure that the Robots Meta is set to No Index if you want the product to be noindexed.

2. Bulk Actions (for multiple products):

   • Go to the WordPress Products menu.
   • Filter by Articles Noindexed using the Rank Math filter.
   • Select the products you want to set to index.
   • From the bulk actions drop-down, choose Set to Index and click Apply.

3. Export CSV:

   • After making sure that the products are correctly set to noindex in Rank Math, export your products to CSV again.
   • Check the exported CSV file to verify that the correct status is now reflected under the column (Meta: rank_math_news_sitemap_robots).

If after following these steps, the issue persists, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from our support team will assist you further.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
