I have a WordPress site with pages that Google Search Console (GSC) reports as "Excluded by ‘noindex’ tag"
The robots.txt file accessed by the Yoast plugin is as follows though:
User-Agent: *
Allow: /
User-agent: *
Crawl-delay: 2
Looking at the file url confirms this.
In the home page code I can see the robots meta tag as follows.
<meta name="robots" content="index, follow, max-image-preview:large, max-snippet:-1, max-video-preview:-1" />
And in WordPress's own settings:
Settings > Reading "Discourage search engines from indexing this site" is unchecked
I also have added the following sitemaps to GSC
/post_tag-sitemap.xml
/category-sitemap.xml
/attachment-sitemap.xml
/page-sitemap.xml
/post-sitemap.xml
How can I get GSC to crawl and index them?
Cheers
