    Hello,

    So I got a message from Google Search Console saying that my Home page, domain.com is marked noindex and so it seems. The rest of the pages are indexed.
    <meta name="robots" content="noindex,follow">

    I've looked around and I can't find any setting to change the Home Page to index.

    I'm using the Metro Pro Theme with Yoast SEO. And theme setting is set to show the blog feed together with some widgets on the first page. So it's an actual "page" that is set to be shown on the home page.

    Any idea on how to solve this issue?

    Go to Settings > Reading and make sure the box is not checked for Search Engines.

    Thank you Anita, but it's no that. Already checked that, and all other pages are indexed.

    You may want to check robots.txt and/or your .htaccess file. Could be caused by a plugin. Deactivate plugins to see if that resolves it.
