    Hi everyone,

    I have built this site with WordPress but I keep getting emails saying it couldn’t be indexed. When I checked the google search console there was a range of reasons ranging from ‘Blocked by robots.txt’ to ‘Crawled – currently not indexed’

    A while ago I tried to fix it but got lost can anyone help?

    Thanks

    Your website can be found easily via Google. Several pages are indexed there.

    So there is actually no problem with indexing. The question is therefore why you are seeing these messages in Google Search Console. Here are some tips:

    • Make sure you are checking the correct domain in Google Search Console. The main domain in your WordPress is the domain you mentioned, but without the www subdomain. This would also make a difference in Google Search Console. You need to view your main domain (without the www subdomain) in Google Search Console.
    • If you see such a message, you can also perform a live check there. This shows you the results of access by a Google bot live. This also allows you to see exactly what it is accessing and with what result.

    If you have any further questions, I would recommend the Google Search Console Community: https://support.google.com/webmasters/community

    You also use the Yoast SEO plugin. You could also post your question there: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordpress-seo/ – but I suspect you will get the same response there as you would from me here (just probably in different words).

    Hello @bexdasall

    Just to complete the answer given by @threadi, after reviewing your code on a technical level, nothing unusual stands out.

    The robots tag is correctly inserted in the index on most of the pages on your site.

    Could it be that you have voluntarily left some of your pages unindexed?

    Also, you should know that Google no longer indexes all the pages on a site if it does not consider them relevant.

    I recommend that you review all the errors in Search Console and correct those on the pages that interest you most, then notify Google of the change applied through Search Console.

    This will correct any errors that appear.

    Remember that if you are in a hurry to index a page, you can also force its indexing by submitting it through Search Console.

    I have built this site with WordPress but I keep getting emails saying it couldn’t be indexed.

    Perhaps the email is referring to a specific URL/path and not the entire site? Such details matter when asking for help!

    Hi,

    this usually happens because of a few common WordPress settings. First, check Settings → Reading and make sure “Discourage search engines from indexing this site” is unchecked. Then review your robots.txt file to ensure important pages are not blocked. Also inspect a few URLs in Google Search Console → URL Inspection and request indexing if needed. If pages show “Crawled – currently not indexed”, improving content quality and internal linking often helps Google index them faster.
