 * Hi guys,
    ive got the following errors and wanted to check on best practices 
   here and to confirm that I dont really need to have those and checkmark the “
   Do not display this taxonomy archive in search engine results (noindex)” boxes
   or would that be harmful for SEO?
 *     ```
       Some Custom Taxonomies have no meta title set! We strongly encourage you to add one by filling in the fields below.
   
       rl_category
       rl_tag
       rl_media_folder
       Some Custom Taxonomies have no meta description set! We strongly encourage you to add one by filling in the fields below.
   
       rl_category
       rl_tag
       rl_media_folder
       ```
   
 * Post tags also shows this:
    `This custom taxonomy is NOT excluded from your XML
   sitemaps despite the fact that it is set to NOINDEX. We recommend that you check
   this out.`
 * I notice that the Sitemap is empty, probably because I had no tags yet. I will
   start adding tags to my news posts now in order to fix the Google Search Console
   Crawling error, unless you have a better solution?
 * Thanks
    Chris`

 * Hi,
    yes you can mark as noindex every post type and taxonomy related to your
   lightbox plugin.
 * About post tags, we have answer you from the other topic 😉

 * Thanks,
    Upon some reading, it is actually suggested to keep tags and categories
   in the sitemap as they might rank in google as well.
 * But I do want to get rid of those error messages. So i was clicking the button
   to hide the 3 mentioned ones in Titles & Metas -> Taxonomies
 * rl_category
    rl_tag rl_media_folder
 * With that I only have the tags and categories left.
 * Somehow the Dashboard still shows those errors? Do I still have to set the meta
   description for those even though they are turned off now? Just to get rid of
   the “Fix this” messages in the Dashboard.
 * Cheers,
    Chris

 * By clicking the quick tags below the Title and meta description template for 
   these taxonomies, it will remove the error messages (SEO, Titles and metas, Taxonomies).
 * Don’t forget to save changes.
