Unblock Pages Robots Meta Tag

Hello @saimrasheed

Thanks for reaching out about your date archives. I noticed these all have a noindex tag, which explains why you got the report that they are blocked. You have likely chosen not to show date archives in the search results. To resolve this, please toggle the button in WordPress > Yoast SEO > Settings > Advanced > Date Archives > Search Appearance to turn ON Show date archives in search results.

Moreover, date archives are based on publication dates. From an SEO perspective, the posts in these archives have no real relation to the other posts except for their publication dates, which don’t say much about the content. They could also lead to duplicate content issues. This is why we recommend you to disable date archives.

ohh i see i see Can you check the. if my date archives are off?

Also what other options we should keep turn off in order to avoid duplicate content?

i also turned tag off and through yoast, please tell me more what other options should turned off?

And this date archives is by default off?

One thing more: I have turned off the first option *Enable Date Archive* by turning this off what will happen?

Hello @saimrasheed

To confirm that you have turned OFF the date archives in the Yoast SEO plugin, visiting the archive will redirect to your homepage. So yes, you’ve turned it OFF.
