    Hello,

    I apologize for the issue you are facing with the robots meta tags not updating as expected on your website. To ensure that your pages and post types are set to index properly, please follow these steps:

    1. Check Rank Math SEO Settings:

      • Go to your WordPress Dashboard and navigate to Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta → Posts/Pages/Products/CPTs.
      • Confirm that the settings are configured to index the pages and post types correctly.

    2. Verify Search Engine Visibility Option:

      • Check if the Discourage search engines from indexing this site option is disabled at WordPress Dashboard → Settings → Reading. This option should be unchecked to allow search engines to index your site.

    3. Inspect Robots Meta Tags:

      • After updating the settings, ensure that the meta tags are reflecting the changes correctly by inspecting the pages using tools like Google’s Page Inspector.

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

    Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We appreciate your patience as we work to resolve this issue promptly.

    Hello,

    This usually happens when the option to discourage search engines from indexing your site in WordPress Dashboard > Settings > Reading is enabled/checked

    Discourage

    Please ensure that option is not enabled. If that option is checked, even if Rank Math options are set to Index, the website as a whole will be marked as NoIndex.

    To ensure that your site is set to index, please follow the steps in this link:

    Let us know how this goes.
