Sitemaps Generator includes noindex pages
« on: October 03, 2018, 06:12:49 AM »
Hi,

The standalone sitemap generator includes some pages which are set to "noindex, follow" into the sitemap. This causes errors in Google's Search Console.

How can this be fixed?

Thank you!

Hello,

you have "Maximum depth level" setting set to "3". All pages from last depth level are not fetched from the server and are included directly in sitemap, hence "noindex" meta tag cannot be checked.
You would need to remove depth level limit to have all pages checked versus their robots meta tag.

Hello Oleg.

Thanks for the tip. I had that option set to 0 (unlimited) and, as I remember, the crawl didn't stop.
I will try it again and let you know how it behaves.

Regards.
