    Hi,

    I'm using WordPress SEO by Yoast and today I realized my home page (http://www.promtec.com.br/) has the following tags:
    <meta name="robots" content="noindex,follow"/>

    Can't figure out why. I disabled every noindex under "SEO -> Titles & Metadata"

    Using:
    Wordpress 4.2.2
    Enterprise Pro Theme
    Wordpress homepage: recent posts (but as I inserted widgets, my home are showing my widgets instead of recent posts)
    Not using any performance or cache plugin

    Any hint?

    I checked your page source, I do not see <meta name=”robots” content=”noindex,follow”/> anywhere

    Hi Graham,

    Thank you for your answer.

    It's because I found the solution and was testing. I have a blog page (www.promtec.com.br/blog) that shows the list of posts (excerpt). Since it's an archive page I had set it to noindex. And this noindex were being replicated to the homepage!

    The solution was to put the /blog/ page to default (which is also noindex), and this noindex are not reflecting on the homepage. It sounds weird, but I could find that workaround.
