I have a serious problem with my website. I had someone do some work on my website and now they have vanished after taking the money. The problem I have is, that Google is no longer seeing my posts, but they are seeing my pages, category and home page.

Here is an example

https://www.in2town.co.uk/scunthorpe-news/north-lincolnshire-parking-fine-hit-record-level/

When you trype in the full name of an article and use speach marks then the post should come up. However, even though the url has been indexed, when you do the above search it shows as the home page

The theme I am using is Tagdiv and I have contacted them and they are confused. I am also using rankmath seo plugin.

Before I had work done on my site every single post appeared in google but now they don’t. Can anyone please help me work out what has happened. I have spent a couple of months trying to find out what has gone wrong and how to fix it. Because of this my impressions have hit rock bottom when i have a few thousands posts.

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

Your posts are definitely included in Google. Example: https://www.google.com/search?q=inurl%3Ahttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.in2town.co.uk%2Fscunthorpe-news%2Fnorth-lincolnshire-parking-fine-hit-record-level%2F&client=firefox-b-d&sca_esv=3acb789c3fd461ab&sxsrf=ADLYWIKf5HVW1CUEVzk6i5ZY7ClmToMKPA%3A1717940483633&ei=A7FlZqOoJrKHxc8P7rGt-AQ&ved=0ahUKEwjjtZaC086GAxWyQ_EDHe5YC08Q4dUDCBE&uact=5&oq=inurl%3Ahttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.in2town.co.uk%2Fscunthorpe-news%2Fnorth-lincolnshire-parking-fine-hit-record-level%2F&gs_lp=Egxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAiYWludXJsOmh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LmluMnRvd24uY28udWsvc2N1bnRob3JwZS1uZXdzL25vcnRoLWxpbmNvbG5zaGlyZS1wYXJraW5nLWZpbmUtaGl0LXJlY29yZC1sZXZlbC9IAFAAWABwAHgAkAEAmAEAoAEAqgEAuAEDyAEA-AEC-AEBmAIAoAIAmAMAkgcAoAcA&sclient=gws-wiz-serp (search term: inurl:https://www.in2town.co.uk/scunthorpe-news/north-lincolnshire-parking-fine-hit-record-level/)

I also see no technical reason why they should not be indexed. Your SEO plugin is set up correctly as far as I can see.

So take a look at the Google Search Console to see what it says about your site. You can use it to analyze what Google sees of your site much better.

Otherwise, you will also have to wait some time until the pages can be found correctly.

Thank you for responding. Using the method you use all the posts do show, but the method that is used to make sure it can be found in google is by using ” ” the method you have shown is to show that it has been indexed. Tagdiv are puzzled and they agree that the posts are not searchable but they are indexed. They have said it is like they are ignoring the posts but not the pages. A test was done where an article was put on a page instead of a post and google found it and it was searchable.

I have been waiting since feb for the pages to be found. Everything was ok before I had work done on my site. Tagdiv have said they are 100% certain that a techical problem is happening but they cannot understand what it is

You’re right that my link above only indicates that the page is indexed. In order to be found optimally under the keywords you want, you need to optimize the content and get as many backlinks as possible. You can analyze all of these things in detail in Google Search Console, which is why I recommend taking a look at the

What I am saying is, if you put speach marks with any article on any website then it will come up on the actual post page that it is on. Does not matter what website it is, it will always work. However, when you do it with my website it no longer works and instead shows the post on the homepage.

Hi, I’m facing this same issue. I was probably thinking of migrating my blog to tagdiv only to see what was mentioned above.

Actually, if you goto google and type:
site:yourdomain.com The title of my article make sure site:yourdomain.com is before the keyword. You will realize the post is actually on google but not showing when it’s about the original keyword.

I have INP issues popping up on my google search console. My single post page is inherited by smartmag theme and it’s php is modified the way I want the single posts to show up but I still don’t know what to do further to optimize or remove the inp issues or just get my posts showing on google.

Others appear properly on google: tags, categories, pages but not Posts. I use rank math.
