Yoast says my homepage isn't indexable. Canonical URL problem?

    I’m dealing with the dreaded “Your homepage cannot be indexed by search engines” error. I’ve followed the link to the Yoast help article about it, created an account with OnPage.org and had them crawl the site. But, the only thing I see is the the home page is Canonicalized:

    But, Yoast is the one controlling the canonical URL for the home page, so how can that be?

    Site is http://www.livingcully.org

    It looks like the trailing slash might be the problem. So, after some Googling, I’ve edited the homepage and made the canonical URL for the page http://www.livingcully.org (no trailing slash) but that didn’t help either, even though it’s now changed in the source.

    Does anybody know what’s going on here or have any suggestions? Any help provided would be much appreciated…

    Tried adding this:

    function at_remove_dup_canonical_link() {
return false;
}
add_filter( 'wpseo_canonical', 'at_remove_dup_canonical_link' );

    Basically, I want to remove that error and make sure that my homepage can be indexed.

    I have a similar problem that seems to come from blocking the 21 url’s that were picked up by google showing the WordPress theme settings and looked spammy. So those URL’s have been set to no index, so they don’t show in the search results, and now Yoast is saying my whole site cannot be indexed. I don’t want those spammy theme URLs to show – what do I do?
