  • You have <meta name=”robots” content=”noindex,follow” /> in your categories.

    That means, you told search engines to not index those pages, thats why they are not indexing in Google.

    Remove the noindex and resubmit your sitemap, it will get indexed.

    how to remove “noindex” from categories..??

    In case you have a common Blog on WordPress, then there is no reason to allow search engines to index your category at all.
    Usually, each post in a certain category has links to this category page. So, a category has as many internal backlinks, as there are posts included in this category.
    Instead, each post has only one internal link from a category page.
    That’s why a category page will likely get more link juice, then each post. Thus, better just not to allow to index it.

    On the other hand, if you have another type of website (not a blog), then it can be useful to index a category page. In case you want the category to have a higher priority than separate pages, then you use this tip: check your sitemap and remove a noindex tag if any, like aadhaar has already mentioned.

    When editing a page, there is a button “text” – means you can edit HTML code.
