By default, WordPress does not add a "noindex" meta tag to your website pages. However, some plugins or themes might add this tag for specific pages or post types.
If you want to remove the "noindex" meta tag from your WordPress website, you can do so by following these steps:
- Check if your theme or plugin adds the "noindex" tag: You can do this by inspecting the HTML code of your website pages and looking for the following code in the head section: <meta name="robots" content="noindex">. If you find this code, it means that your theme or plugin is adding the "noindex" tag.
- Disable the "noindex" tag: If your theme or plugin is adding the "noindex" tag, you can usually disable it by going to the settings or options section of the theme or plugin and looking for a "noindex" option. If you cannot find this option, you can try disabling the theme or plugin and see if the "noindex" tag disappears.
- Use a plugin to remove the "noindex" tag: If you cannot disable the "noindex" tag using the options provided by your theme or plugin, you can use a third-party plugin to remove it. One such plugin is the "Yoast SEO" plugin, which allows you to remove the "noindex" tag from specific pages or post types.
- Edit the code: If you are comfortable editing code, you can remove the "noindex" tag manually by editing your theme or plugin files. However, be careful when editing code and make sure to create a backup of your website before making any changes.
