Certain pages are blocked for Google-index – how to change this?

    Hello,

    because other plugins failed to include either posts or products into the sitemap, I recently switched to the XML Sitemap Generator and deaktivated all other plugins that want to create sitemaps.
    At first it seemed to work like a charm, but now i get errors in the Google Search Console that tell me that some pages have been marked as noindex in the code. Indeed, on the affected pages (my account, shopping-basket etc.) I find this in the HTML: “<meta name=’robots’ content=’noindex,follow’ />”

    I found topics concerning a similar error in the html-sitemap, but that does not occur in my case because i have deactivated it.

    Can anyone tell me how to remove the noindex for those pages?

    I know that these pages not necessarily need to be indexed as they only include dynamic content tailored to the user, but Google Search Console errors drive me nuts as I’m always afraid that they will affect the ranking for the entire domain.

    *edit: I just checked the page itself. I still use Yoast-SEO for Meta-Titles etc. In the “Advanced”-section of Yoast SEO I can choose if the page should be indexed and it says YES. So it must be that the XML Sitemap Generator overwrites this setting somewhere.

    Any recommendations welcome!
    Thank you!
