My Sitemap with noindex

Hello,

Thanks for contacting us, and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

You shouldn’t be worried about that, as it’s completely fine and absolutely normal to have noindex tag on your sitemap URLs. The sitemaps, by default, are set to noindex as it is not meant to be indexed and appear in the search results.

The sitemap should only be submitted in the sitemaps sections in the Search Console.

However, if you still wish to remove noindex tag from your sitemap, you may add the following filter to your WordPress site:

add_filter( 'rank_math/sitemap/http_headers', function( $headers ) {
	if ( '/sitemap_index.xml' !== $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ) {
		return $headers;
	}
	unset( $headers['X-Robots-Tag'] );
	return $headers;
} );

Here’s how you can add a filter/hook to your WordPress site:

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

Thank you.
