noindex” detected in the “robots” meta tag

@joinwithveera We checked on the page https://www.softsuave.com/blog/tag/latest-healthcare-technology-trends/ and confirmed that the robots meta tag is set to index and that the tag is output for the page as the following (see image here):

<meta name="robots" content="index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1" />

We also checked on your robots.txt file and do see several Disallow directives, which can sometimes cause Google Search Console to return that warning incorrectly.

We also have more information on possible causes for the warning and how to resolve it in the following article: https://yoast.com/help/crawl-error-submitted-url-marked-noindex/

Can you please try rechecking the URL in the URL Inspector tool and use the ‘Test Live URL’ feature and let us know what is reported? We also we have a guide on using the URL Inspection Tool feature here: https://kb.yoast.com/kb/fetch-as-googlebot/ and you can also read more about it in Google’s documentation here:

Hi Carl,

Thanks for your response.

I have checked all the factors that you have mentioned above and all is fine. But while I am trying to submit my URL to re-index, it shows “No: ‘noindex’ detected in ‘robots’ meta tag”. I have checked there is no no-index tag in the particular URL.

Also, I have no idea why it shows like this.

Hi,

We took a closer look at https://www.softsuave.com/blog/tag/latest-healthcare-technology-trends/ and did a curl check on it. The headers show a 200. This means Google is expected to find and crawl the page. See image: https://ibb.co/V2Wwc3r

There is nothing about the URL that is preventing Google from crawling it. As Yoast is working expected we recommend contacting Google for more information.

You may?contact Google by making a post on their forums:?https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!forum/webmasters.

The only other action is to adjust your robots.txt file to have the default rules (and the right sitemap location) and see if that resolves the issue. If not, you will need to contact Google.

This guide explains how to edit the robots.txt: https://yoast.com/help/how-to-edit-robots-txt-through-yoast-seo/

You can use the defaults below.

User-agent: *
Disallow: /wp-admin/
Allow: /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php
Sitemap: https://www.softsuave.com/sitemap_index.xml
