 * Hello. I saw two meta robots problems in product category:
 * 1. If the meta robots button is enabled, then the categories have meta robots
   settings, if the button is disabled, then the categories also have settings. 
   Why then this button if the settings are always displayed in the product category?
 * 2. The category page always has a noindex nofollow regardless of the settings.
   Cannot enable index follow. In the video I show different settings, but noindex
   nofollow is always displayed. But the default is index.

 * Hello [@pearlpepper](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pearlpepper/),
 * Thank you for contacting the support and sorry for any inconvenience that might
   have been caused due to that.
 * Here is the priority in which we add the robots data:
    **1.** The value stored
   in the term meta table **2.** The robots value from the Titles & Meta >> Product
   category settings **3. **Robots value from the global meta settings.
 * If changing the value in the settings is not changing the robots data on your
   pages, then you must have saved the page(s) after changing the robots value.
 * You can read further about these and other things on our website here:

 * Hope that helps.
