Hi TagDiv Support,

My site https://www.selemedia.org stopped being indexed by Google immediately after I installed and activated the Newspaper theme.

Problem:
1. Before installing Newspaper, posts were indexed normally.  
2. After activation, new and old posts show as “Crawled – currently not indexed” in Google Search Console.  
3. Google reports “No referring sitemaps detected” even though my sitemaps have URLs.  
4. Viewing the page source shows Google is not seeing noindex, but indexing still fails.

What I’ve already checked:
– Deactivated RankMath and all other SEO plugins. The issue remains.  
– My sitemaps at /wp-sitemap-posts-post-1.xml are working and list 45+ URLs.  
– “Discourage search engines” is unchecked in Settings > Reading.  
– Using LiteSpeed Cache and Cloudflare, but I’ve purged all cache.

I suspect the Newspaper theme’s built-in SEO settings may be setting a global noindex or blocking Googlebot.

Request:
Can you tell me exactly where in Newspaper > Theme Panel I should check to ensure posts are set to index, follow and not blocked from Google?

Site URL: https://www.selemedia.org  
WordPress version: 7.0  
Newspaper theme version: 12.7.6

Thanks,  
John Sele Philip
