Can’t find noindex tags
-
I’ve discovered through Search Console that Google has not indexed all pages on a site I built, however I can’t find the noindex tags to remove them.
The basic WordPress settings (Reading, Visibility Search, uncheck Discourage search engines from indexing this site).
Within Yoast I can’t see anything which allows me to interrogate or edit code that contain the noindex tag.
I’d be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction, as I never intended for the entire site to be hidden from indexing.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hey there,
While I can’t speak for Google itself, with my experience in building out various blogs, Google doesn’t always index all pages of a website. You can use Search Console to submit index requests though to force it to attempt to index them, especially if you have confirmed that they are not tagged as noindex.
Some of the most common causes of indexing issues are duplicate content without a proper canonical tag, blocked page access, incorrect robots. txt file, poorly implemented redirects, and rendering issues related to Javascript.
Hope that helps!

Hi there,
Apologies, but we can’t help with your issue directly because we don’t host svsurfacing.co.uk on our WordPress.com managed hosting.
To explain, we are a fully managed hosting provider and use a custom server environment that is optimized for WordPress, provides built-in security and performance improvements, as well as in-house support for your site questions. You can learn more about the performance and security benefits of our managed hosting here: https://wordpress.com/hosting/
Because of the way we’ve optimized our service, we also use a customized version of WordPress that is different (under the hood) from what you use at your current provider. As a result, we do not have access to your site and are not familiar with the source of your issue.
You definitely have the option to move your site to us so we can provide in-house help, and we offer a migration plugin that will help you move your site to our managed hosting in just a few clicks.
The Move to WordPress.com plugin allows you to start migrating a self-hosted WordPress site to WordPress.com directly from the self-hosted site. Prerequisites The Move to WordPress.com plugin installed on your self-hosted WordPress site. All incompatible plugins deactivated on the self-hosted site. ✅ There is no need to create a site on WordPress.com before you get starUnfortunately though, as it stands now, we are not able to help since it is hosted elsewhere. The good news is that help is available here at the open-source WordPress forums: https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting
The folks in that forum are more familiar with these kinds of issues and are in the best position to help. Thanks!
