To resolve this, can you please check: In _WordPress > Pages_, edit the page in question and then scroll down to the Yoast SEO meta box. In the advanced tab, ensure that you chose YES for **_Allow search engines to show this content in search results? _**and **_Should search engines follow links on this content?_** Additionally, the **Canonical URL** field should be left blank. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[NSFW] [Yoast SEO - Advanced SEO with real-time guidance and built-in AI] Yoast Sitemap Not Including Home](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/yoast-sitemap-not-including-home/) * [devnihil](https://wordpress.org/support/users/devnihil/) * (@devnihil) * [1 year, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/yoast-sitemap-not-including-home/#post-18187836) * [@jimmyy88](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jimmyy88/) Thanks for your reply.

On the second, we found a `noindex` tag in the source code.

What you could do is first test on a staging site, and prior to performing it on the live site take a backup of the site so in the event of any problem you can easily restore the site. We recommend creating regular backups of your site and database for your site’s health and safety. A backup is crucial before editing the database directly and provides you with a safety net if something were to go wrong.

But if the warning is for multiple pages having the same value for the `<title>` tag, you can change this value for the page by navigating to the page’s edit screen and then entering a new value for the **‘SEO Title’** field in the Yoast meta box. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Yoast SEO - Advanced SEO with real-time guidance and built-in AI] Missing Field “mainEntity” on author pages](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-field-mainentity-on-author-pages/) * [devnihil](https://wordpress.org/support/users/devnihil/) * (@devnihil) * [2 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-field-mainentity-on-author-pages/#post-17333969) * [@databell96](https://wordpress.org/support/users/databell96/) We understand you are receiving an error of _**Missing field ‘mainEntity’**_ in Google Search Console, and we apologize for the inconvenience. * Can you please let us know whether these pages are set to **“ProfilePage”**? If so, it’s currently in our product roadmap to add the **“ProfilePage” **schema properly into our product. - [New in structured data: discussion forum and profile page markup](https://developers.google.com/search/blog/2023/11/discussion-and-profile-markup) - [Expanding markup support for Organization details, including Logo structured data](https://developers.google.com/search/blog/2023/11/introducing-organization-markup) * In the meantime, we recommend not setting the pages as Profile Page in the schema tab of the Yoast SEO meta box. If it’s set as Profile Page, please change it temporarily to the default one so it won’t return the _**Missing field ‘mainEntity’**_ error. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[NSFW] [Yoast SEO - Advanced SEO with real-time guidance and built-in AI] post title isnt showing in google search engine](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-title-isnt-showing-in-google-search-engine/) * [devnihil](https://wordpress.org/support/users/devnihil/) * (@devnihil) * [2 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-title-isnt-showing-in-google-search-engine/#post-17333948) * [@hameedhashemi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hameedhashemi/) We have a comprehensive guide including documentation and instructions for implementing hreflang available here: [hreflang: The ultimate guide.](https://yoast.com/hreflang-ultimate-guide/) * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Yoast SEO - Advanced SEO with real-time guidance and built-in AI] While Shairing Post through whatsapp image and meta title are not showing](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/while-shairing-post-through-whatsapp-image-and-meta-title-are-not-showing/) * [devnihil](https://wordpress.org/support/users/devnihil/) * (@devnihil) * [2 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/while-shairing-post-through-whatsapp-image-and-meta-title-are-not-showing/#post-17333938) * [@anjanavk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anjanavk/) Regarding your issue, we checked on this post and it is returning a 404 error for us.

Not all products of that brand.** * This will noindex all pages for that taxonomy. If you only wish to noindex a single page/post/product, you should do so by performing the following steps: - Go to the Edit screen for a page/post/product - Scroll down to the Yoast Metabox - Click on the **‘Advanced’** area - For **‘Allow search engines to show this in search results?’ **make sure this is set to **‘No’ (**setting this value to Yes will set meta robots to ‘index’ and setting No would set meta robots to ‘noindex) * **And another question, I want to no index a product: roof rack, because these are different for each car. So I don’t want the user to reach the product that is not valid for their car. I want the user to reach this page, which is a search engine for roof rack: [https://negrillo.es/barras-techo-bacas-buscador/](https://negrillo.es/barras-techo-bacas-buscador/) Does it work just by no index said product?** * Yes, you could accomplish this by individually setting each to noindex. Another solution you may want to explore is instead of setting those pages to noindex is to change their canonical URL to that of the search page.

Please test this on your development or staging site, if you have one. If not, we recommend using the [Health Check & Troubleshooting](https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/) plugin.
