Follow these simple steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Start by visiting the blog post or page where you wish to eliminate the noindex tag.<\/li>\n<li>Open Yoast Settings. Scroll down the settings till you find the\u00a0Yoast SEO meta box.<\/li>\n<li>Now, click on the\u00a0&#8216;Advanced&#8217;\u00a0tab.<\/li>\n<li>It will &#8216;show\u2014Allow\u00a0search engines to show this post in search results?&#8217;\u00a0Simply click\u00a0&#8216;Yes.&#8217;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Method 2: Adjusting The WordPress Settings<\/h3>\n<p>This method is a great way to customise and control things like<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>how many posts appear on your homepage?<\/li>\n<li>whether to show full posts<\/li>\n<li>What private posts to hide<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here&#8217;s how to do it:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Log in to your WordPress<\/li>\n<li>Navigate to the WordPress Dashboard and select Settings. There, click on the\u00a0Reading\u00a0option<\/li>\n<li>From there on, scroll down to the\u00a0Search Engine Visibility\u00a0section<\/li>\n<li>There will be a box labelled\u00a0\u201cDiscourage search engines from indexing this site\u201d; if it is checked, uncheck it.

After all, it is an HTML tag! Here are the steps:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Go to\u00a0Appearance &gt; Theme Editor\u00a0in your WP.<\/li>\n<li>Locate and open\u00a0header.php.<\/li>\n<li>Look for the snippet code:\u00a0&lt;meta name=&#8221;robots&#8221; content=&#8221;noindex&#8221;&gt;<\/li>\n<li>Now, delete this line of code.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Method 4: Custom Function in Functions.php<\/h3>\n<p>To get a little more advanced, you can add a custom function in functions.php:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Head to your WordPress dashboard. Then, head over to\u00a0Appearance\u00a0and select\u00a0Theme Editor.<\/li>\n<li>Find the functions.php of your active theme located on the right sidebar.<\/li>\n<li>Now, you have to add the following code snippet at the end of the file:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 100%;\">function remove_noindex_tag() {<\/p>\n<p>if (is_single()) {<\/p>\n<p>remove_action(&#8216;wp_head&#8217;, &#8216;no_index&#8217;);<\/p>\n<p>}<\/p>\n<p>}<\/p>\n<p>add_action(&#8216;wp&#8217;, &#8216;remove_noindex_tag&#8217;);<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Lastly, update your file to save the PHP changes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Method 5: Adjusting robots.txt File<\/h3>\n<p>Your robots.txt file tells Google, Yahoo, and others which pages to crawl or ignore. Thus, if you accidentally block some important pages, they will not be indexed. So, this affects visibility. Want to fix this? Follow these quick steps to edit:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Access Your Site:\u00a0<\/strong>Use an FTP client or your\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.crazydomains.com.au\/help\/article\/how-to-access-web-hosting-manager\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">web hosting file manager<\/a>\u00a0to find your site files.<\/li>\n<li><strong>2. Locate robots.txt:\u00a0<\/strong>Look in the root directory of your website. If you cannot find one, you can create a new text file named robots.txt.<\/li>\n<li><strong>3. Edit the File:\u00a0<\/strong>Open it and make sure important pages are allowed. For example:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ul>\n<li>javascript<\/li>\n<li>User-agent: *<\/li>\n<li>Disallow: \/private\/<\/li>\n<li>Allow: \/important-page\/<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>4. Save and Upload:\u00a0<\/strong>Save changes and put the file back in the root folder if you edited it locally.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><em><strong>Pro Tip<\/strong>: When editing your robots.txt file, be cautious about blocking entire sections of your site that could impact your SEO. For example, you might want to block a &#8220;Thank You&#8221; page or a user login page but don&#8217;t accidentally block your blog posts or product pages. Always double-check the Allow and Disallow directives to ensure your important content\u00a0is still\u00a0open to search engine crawlers.<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2>6 Biggest Mistakes to Avoid When Managing Noindex Tags<\/h2>\n<p>Here are some common pitfalls to watch out for when handling noindex tags:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Neglecting Plugin Updates<\/strong>: Keep your SEO plugins up to date to avoid bugs and compatibility issues.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Forgetting Backups<\/strong>: Always back up your files before making any changes to prevent data loss.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Applying Global Noindex by Mistake<\/strong>: Double-check plugin settings to ensure you haven\u2019t accidentally applied a global noindex across your site.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Skipping Testing<\/strong>: Use SEO tools to verify that changes have been applied correctly before assuming the issue is resolved.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Overlooking Cache Clearing<\/strong>: Make sure to clear your site\u2019s cache so that changes take effect immediately.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Skipping Regular SEO Audits<\/strong>: Perform routine SEO audits to catch issues like accidental noindex tags early on.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong><span style=\"color: #008080;\">Also Read:<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crazydomains.com.au\/learn\/domain-role-in-seo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">What Role Does Domain Play in SEO?<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2>To Wrap Up<\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Getting your WordPress site indexed is crucial for boosting visibility, driving traffic, and improving SEO rankings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">It<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0may take some time\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">for your site<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0to recover, so be patient as you wait for the results to show up in Google and other search engines.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">But don&#8217;t leave your SEO to chance\u2014take control of your site&#8217;s performance today.
