What is your website URL and what error are you getting?

Support at YoastHi Guillaume,
It sounds like this category likely got indexed prior to you setting those tags.
Those tags prevent future indexing but will not lead to de-indexing of any content.
This brief tutorial will show you how to request removal of the problematic URLs: http://just-ask-kim.com/remove-block-prevent-post-google-search-engine/
(Note that Google Webmaster Tools was recently renamed Google Search Console.)

Support at YoastHi Ov3rfly,
If you still believe you have a bug, you can file a bug report for the Yoast SEO plugin in the following GitHub repository: https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo

Support at YoastThe title tags are defined by the “Titles & Meta” templates.
In your WP dashboard, go to SEO -> Titles & Meta -> Taxonomies and locate categories to change them there.

Support at YoastHave you tried removing the sitemap pages from caching entirely?
if you’re using W3 Total Cache, and the setting “Do not process 404 errors for static objects with WordPress” is turned on, you should add the following exception:
([a-z]+)?-?sitemap.xsl~ Kim ~
Support at YoastWhat is the URL of the post that has this setting but is failing to output it?
Sometimes strange behavior may be caused by a plugin or theme conflict. The fastest way to rule out conflicts is to deactivate all non-Yoast plugins and switch to a standard theme like Twenty Fourteen. If this resolves the issue, you have a conflict and should activate one plugin at a time until you locate the conflict. Finally, after all plugins are active, switch to your theme. This will narrow down the conflict to a specific plugin or a theme conflict.
If you are unfamiliar with checking for conflicts, we wrote a small guide that will walk you through the steps. You can find it here: How To Check For Plugin Conflicts: http://kb.yoast.com/article/253-how-to-check-for-plugin-conflicts

Support at YoastI’m not seeing other reports of this guntrust, so would you please elaborate on what is going on?

Support at YoastOn the editable page that is being assigned to be the home page, you will find an SEO box with fields (labeled Yoast SEO). Specify the “SEO Title” there as you would like it shown. That will override the default values you are seeing.

Support at YoastHi F5,
It looks like you’ve made a modification to your permalinks that have resulted in the trailing slash. If you need help setting up your permalinks, there are developers for hire at: http://directory.codepoet.com/
Our plugin does not output a sitemap.xml so if you had a redirection in place, then it is something that has now been changed or edited. The correct path is sitemap_index.xml for the dynamic sitemap we create. Please be sure that is the URL you submit to Google Search Console.

Support at YoastUnfortunately, just because Fetch as Googlebot returns the right result, does not mean that Google will not CHOOSE to use other signals in the code to display results in search. That’s Google’s choice and the best we can do is to provide Google with the cleanest code possible to “suggest” how we want it displayed.
You might try posting this issue in the Google Webmaster help forum and seeing if they have any additional advice for you:

Support at YoastThese types of messages refer to whitespace somewhere in one of the files of your website. Your theme or one or more of your plugins are outputting whitespace, causing this issue. The added whitespace might be from any plugin or functions.php file that has a space outside of <?php … ?>. Often, it is an extra space, outside the tags, in a functions.php file or other recently edited file.

Support at YoastHi ckubs,
What’s your website URL and do you have published posts that SHOULD be in the sitemap? (Otherwise, it would be correct for it to be blank)

In reply to: [Yoast SEO - Advanced SEO with real-time guidance and built-in AI] Page URLBecause the tool only looks at the characters that come AFTER the base of the URL, the home page URL, once assigned, is simply not detectable by the tool.
You can just ignore it since you know the words are there.

If you click the little arrow to the right of your screenshot, the items still do not display?
