Google Webmaster: “Crawled – currently not indexed”

    Hi. I have a big problem. Until recently I used another plugin for sitemap, (I don’t know if I’m allowed to mention its name here so I won’t mention it) and it was ok but some time in October or November (I can’t remember exactly) I discovered that AIOSEO which I was using for years also has a Sitemap so I decided to reduce the number of plugins and use AIOSEO’s sitemap function instead. Since then I haven’t checked on Google Webmaster Tools to see how its performing because I was like “ahh its gonna do fine, I set it up correctly, just like the previous plugin so it will all be ok, I won’t have any issues”.

    Surprise, now 3 months later when I notice a significant drop in visitors from Google, I checked Webmaster Tools only to see in horror that AIOSEO has destroyed my website! Out of 15.000 posts, 5900 posts are now marked as “Crawled – currently not indexed” and 2600 additional posts are marked as “URL is unknown to Google”.

    Here’s a few screenshots of the problems:

    Despite all of this, I think that maybe its a bad setting or something I did wrong?

    I need to mention that I do NOT have noindex activated on posts but only on tags, archives, stuff like that.

    I also discovered that Schedule Updates in sitemaps was set to “no schedule” which I now set on “Daily”. Could this have been the problem?? Or is there another setting?

    Please help, thanks!

    It’s unlikely our sitemap update ping feature has anything to do with it. Can you post your site URL and an example URL that isn’t indexed so we can take a look?

    Then what can be causing it? How can I contact you privately?

    you hide the URL of your website, it is impossible to see how to help you. I think it could be also related to your template and especially the robots tag or the blog category. It depends on you link to your page
