  • Hello,

    Thank you for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    We’ve checked your robots.txt file and we can see you’ve set a disallow rule for all search engines.

    Please try to replace this rule with the Rank Math default one:

    User-agent: *
    Disallow: /wp-admin/
    Allow: /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php
    Sitemap: https://ridersstage.com/sitemap_index.xml
    

    Here’s a guide on how to edit your robots.txt using Rank Math:

    Regarding the other issues, please share some affected URLs with us so that we can check the issue further for you.

    Meanwhile, you can check the following guidelines and see if that works for you:

    Duplicate, Google Chose Different Canonical than User: https://rankmath.com/kb/duplicate-google-chose-different-canonical-than-user/
    Excluded by NoIndex Tag: https://rankmath.com/kb/excluded-by-noindex-tag/
    Page With Redirect: https://rankmath.com/kb/page-with-redirect/

    Let us know how it goes. Looking forward to helping you.

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    Thank you for your patience.

    Your .htaccess is currently controlled by your hosting. If you want to modify or update it, you may get in touch with your web host to assist you with that.

    Meanwhile, your robots.txt is already showing our default recommended rules.

    In this case, please clear your website’s cache, revalidate the issues in your Google Search Console account, and give Google some time to recrawl your site.

    validate

    Hope that helps.

    Thank you.
