How to remove "no index,follow" meta tags
-
Inexplicably, 2 years ago, my website traffic dropped off a cliff.
linkI have finally discovered that the problem is meta tags in my code instructing search engines not to index it (!), and I have no idea how these tags got in there:
<meta name="robots" content="noindex,follow" />
Now that I’ve finally identified the culprit, I searched the help forum, but the solutions are not working (for instance, it says go to settings/general/options/privacy/blog visibility, but in Settings/general I don’t have any of those!). I have the Yoast SEO plug-in (installed long after this problem started) and I checked the meta-tag section and none of the noindex boxes are checked anywhere. It is a really simple site I use Twenty-10.
Can anyone help me get this catastrophe out of my code so that I can be indexed by search engines again? This has killed my site.
Thank you!
