Wordpress pharmacy hack. GSC rejects index request.

by maryJacko
21 replies
I am about to lose my mind. Google doesn't even index my wp blogs pages.


I think someone attacked my website, because I found some irrelevant URLs indexed on Google. And deleted them from GSC. But GSC still doesn't allow me to add my subpages. I don't know what to do.

Please help me.

    It might also be the theme that you're using. You might want to switch back to the default wordpress theme, and then check your live code and see if the no-index still shows.

      I tried to change theme. Even though there is no "noindex" tag in the pages sources, GSC still rejects my request.

    You might want to check the content of your pages. If you suspect that there was malicious activity on your server at some point there could be a page or several pages of low-quality content or links to malware that Google sees and you're not catching.

    You can either try someone on fiverr who specializes spam attacks. Or you can reach out to your hosting company to look into the problem.

    at first glance i am just wondering if the issue might be that you are using an All in One SEO app/tool? Perhaps hard coding at the line item level might work better? Just a thought.... thanks, Pat

    Not sure what you expect. The forum is not a tech help desk. You have asked the question on several sites/forums and each gives suggestions. It does not seem that members here can fix this for you.

    You have answers to your question on the google support forum - I would think that is the best advice in this instance.

    I hope you find the answer - I found several blogs proposing solutions by doing a google search for

    gsc rejects index request

    That might be something else to check - or you might have to hire someone (freelancer) to fix this for you.

      People can always suggest new ideas. I asked this on a few webmaster forums, even contacted hosting companies. No one can still resolve this issue, Watched dozens of youtube videos and read a lot of blogs. This simple issue still couldn't be resolved.

    There's probably not much you can do except remain patient and wait for Google crawl your website again and update its index. When I just checked, your contact page was also indexed, so that's an improvement.

    I also checked Bing. None of your website's pages are indexed in Bing.

    Also, stop linking to your website like this:
    Code:
    http://twittermoneybot.com/
    Google doesn't like websites that don't support SSL. Since your site does support SSL, this is how you should be linking to it: https://twittermoneybot.com/

    So be sure to edit your signature on this forum, and anywhere else where there is a link to your website.

      My website has SSL. But I deactivated it because GSC gives a redirect error this time and it doesn't even index https version of my homepage. Yes homepage and contact pages are indexed only, for some reason it never allows other pages to even add to the directory.

      No, I don't think so. I saw that yesterday and tried to visit the page to see if it exists. The page was nonexistent. I then tried to fetch the page using wget to look for error messages. Your website issued the proper 404 error message. When Googlebot tries to visit that page again in the future, it will get the 404 error message, and that page will be removed from Google's index.

        Yes, it will just take some time to get removed from the indexing.

        Yes, it seems that way. Thank you.

        However, this simple issue still couldn't be resolved. We lost too many visitors from Google.

        GSC should allow us to index pages. I am still not sure what blocks GoogleBots.
