    Hi,

    I have a problem with archive pages of categories. They show a noindex in the header.
    In the general settings of wordpress for reading the option „prevent search engines from indexing“ ist NOT chosen. (While testing I had this option chosen.)
    In the SEO-Tool the categories are set to be indexed. In source code you can see this at the top.
    Do you have any idea how to fix this?

    Thank you.

    Best regards,
    Vera

    Hey Vera,

    Thank you for the inquiry.

    Looks like you’re using the RankMath plugin. Please go to the Admin > Rank Math > Titles & Meta, open the Archives tab and make sure that all archive types are set to index, follow. Let us know of the result.

    Best regards,
    Ismael

    Hi Ismael,

    the settings for Rank Math are fine. I checked that in the source code.
    In line 17 you can see that Rank Math settings show “index”.
    The problem is above in line 5. There is a noindex that comes before the Rank Math settings.

    Best regards,

    Hi,

    Thank you for the info.

    Please try to add this filter in the functions.php file:

    function avf_disable_all_meta_tags( $meta, $robots, $blog_public ) {
    return '';
}

add_filter( 'avf_set_follow', 'avf_disable_all_meta_tags', 10, 3 );

    Best regards,
    Ismael

    Hi Ismael,

    Great! That worked. I can see it in the source code an Google accepts now the request for indexing.

    Thanks a lot!

    Best regards,
