I’m seeking your guidance on resolving some indexing issues on my website. I’ve noticed problems such as pages with no index tags, not found (404) errors, pages crawled but not indexed, and canonical tag mishandling. My site uses the Extra theme by Elegant Themes, and I’d like to ensure everything is set up for optimal indexing and SEO performance. Could you advise on fixing these issues using Google Search Console, as well as any relevant settings or plugins that integrate well with the Extra theme? I truly appreciate your time and any tips you can share—thanks in advance!

I’ve changed the permalinks as per your support articles but still no change. This occurs on multiple systems.

The link from an email is:

Currently a new booking is waiting for approval. Please visit the moderation panel https://website.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=wpbc&view_mode=vm_listing&tab=actions&wh_booking_id=36

Can’t figure out what the issue would be.

I’ve spent a couple of hours trying to find a solution in different foruns/articles. As instructed elsewhere I saved Permalinks (tons of times by now) to regenerate .htaccess, cleared cache, disabled all plugins, have twenty twenty-four enabled. Nothing works. Site Health Status displays the following message:

The REST API encountered an unexpected result

The REST API is one way that WordPress and other applications communicate with the server. For example, the block editor screen relies on the REST API to display and save your posts and pages.

When testing the REST API, an unexpected result was returned:

REST API Endpoint: https://localhost:8888/wordpress/wp-json/wp/v2/types/post?context=edit
REST API Response: (404) Not Found

How can I fix this?

Thanks!

I also have 404 errors which are the requests from Visualsoft-Monitoring (previous website) that tries to search for some non-existing file in the .well-known directory:

and if so, is it possible the same URL is listed multiple times if other visitors also landing on the same URL?

and if the same URL is listed multiple times, would the same URL be counted multiple times in the total 404 error count?

thank you

Around two days ago I have deactivated and deleted HMWG, but today from my plugin of “301 Redirects” there’re still some 404 errors come out time by time, is there anything you can help to figure this out? here’s a screenshot of the newest error log just now.

Wondering is there anything of code in our database can not be cleaned?

Thanks in advance!

I’m encountering an issue with my WordPress website (version 6.4.3) where Google Search Console is indexing pages that I’ve explicitly excluded using Yoast SEO settings.

Here’s the setup:

• WordPress website with Thrive Themes for content creation, including images and an academy.
• Using Yoast SEO, I’ve configured the content types settings to exclude Thrive symbols, lightbox, and academy content from indexing. Specifically, I’ve set these options to “Out” in the Yoast SEO settings.
• Despite these settings, Google Search Console is still giving me 404 errors for pages within my academy and it sees symbols, which should be excluded from indexing according to Yoast SEO.

For reference, here are two types of pages causing issues:

1. Example of a page with Thrive symbols (should be excluded): https://floweroflove.love/?post_type=tcb_symbol&p=159 (this one I redirected to homepage)
2. Example of a page in my academy environment (should be excluded): https://floweroflove.love/module/community/ (ofcourse I can not redirect this one as its part of a course I am giving)

I’ve checked and rechecked the Yoast SEO settings, ensuring that these content types are indeed set to “Out” for indexing.

Can anyone offer insights into why Google Search Console might still be indexing these pages despite Yoast SEO settings indicating otherwise? Any suggestions or troubleshooting steps would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Best regards,
