    An X-robots tag is being added to the sitemap xml files generated by Yoast. Regular pages of the site are fine. The sitemap files themselves look to be properly generated. Any ideas how I would be able to remove the noindex property?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    With regards to the X-Robots-Tag set to noindex, follow, this is intended. You would want the Sitemap Index to be crawled by the search engines, but not indexed and showing up in the search results.

    Ok, yes I suspected this. It makes total sense. Google Search Console was kicking an error on sitemap submission for some reason. So I was looking in to it further and tested the url, and of course if gave me the no-index ‘error’ so for lack of other visible problems I thought it might be that. Google has fixed whatever it was on their side because now what was previously an error for a few days now shows success without any changes from me. Thanks!
