    Hello,

    There is a sitewide meta robots noindex, follow tag on the mentioned website.

    I have double checked all settings in Yoast and all settings are set to “yes” for showing content in search results page.

    I updated Yoast and WordPress is the most up to date (5.4.2).

    I deactivated Yoast and the site defaulted to noindex, nofollow! Which leads me to believe this issue is not solely in Yoast. When I look at the source code for the site, the meta robots noindex, follow is within the comments of the Yoast plugin.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hello @deckard64

    When you deactivate the Yoast SEO plugin, the site outputs a ‘noindex, nofollow’ tag? Right now, with the Yoast SEO plugin enabled, it is outputting a site-wide ‘noindex, follow’ tag. Is there any possible other plugin or configuration/code on your site that could be causing this?

    Just to be sure, we would like to rule out the possibility of any conflicts. The fastest way to do this is to?deactivate all non-Yoast plugins and switch to a standard theme?like?Twenty Nineteen.?

    Test this on your development or staging site, if you have one. If not, we recommend using the?Health Check & Troubleshooting?plugin. This plugin allows you to run a conflict check?without affecting normal visitors to your site.

    As we can imagine that you’re unfamiliar with checking for conflicts, we’d like to point you to a step-by-step guide that will walk you through the process:?How to check for plugin conflicts
