Your homepage cannot be indexed by search engines
-
After the update I now have multiple sites telling me the home page can’t be indexed. But that is nonsense and I have double checked several that are affected and they are being indexed.
I’ve followed the advice on other posts (fetch and hard refresh) but I am still seeing the error.
My inbox is beginning to fill up with client emails concerned that I have done something wrong!
What was once the most impressive plugin out there is rapidly pissing me and clients off big time. WFT happened?

Reading a number of other threads on the same subject I believe the problem is with WORDFENCE and ONPAGE.ORG. Deactivating Wordfence has an immediate effect and the error message goes away. Re-activate and it returns.
I can now confirm and guarantee that the problem is 100% a Wordfence setting “Immediately block fake Google crawlers”.
If checked – as I have in all client websites – Yoast reports the error. If unchecked, no error.
I won’t lower Wordfence security settings so I need a way to allow OnPage to access all my client websites – how do I do this OR is the SEO plugin being updated to fix the issue?
