When searched on Google my website (elesztohaz.hu) shows up several non-existent pages that seems to come from a separate website. You can see a few on this SERP page. These results all lead to a 404 page however but I'm unable to find an answer to how Google indexed them in the first place.
Another, more pressing problem would be that several (main) pages on my site are not getting indexed at all. You can see it on the attached screengrab.Search Console screengrab I double checked everything in WP but haven't found anything amiss. No phantom pages and signs of breach.
The website was built with the Divi builder for Wordpress. Any help would be much appreciated!
As you are using WordPress you can go and check it in the WordPress dashboard, pages section and check the unwanted pages that are ranking in the Search Engine is there or not. If it is there and unwanted then move it to trash. Generate a new sitemap and post it in the Google Search Console.
If the unwanted 404 pages are not on your WordPress dashboard pages section then just copy the link from the search engine, go to Google Search Console and add it to removals. Google will remove that in few days.
Another problem mentioned by you is that several (main) pages on your site are not getting indexed as showing in the search console screengrab.
Kindly note that sometimes it is a false positive. To check if the links that are showing as not indexed are false positive or not. Simply copy the link and in google search, search it like site: "your link". For example: https://elesztohaz.hu/ is the first link that is shown in screenshort as not indexed.
In Google Search, search it like- site:https://elesztohaz.hu/
If you are getting the result it is indexed and just a false positive.

I have about 2 million pages on my website (Wordpress) . The google is always crawl many pages on my website (recrawl old pages) and recently it took about 3 days to index the new pages in order to show in google result.
How to stop recrawl?
Sample of my sitemap : http://www.serze.com/post_part1.xml
Discourage search engine from indexing choice is your entire site will make non accessible for google. Your website wont rank on search result after that.
You can set update frequency for specific pages on your sitemap.xml.
https://www.sitemaps.org/protocol.html (check changefreq and priority tag)
Also you can check crawl stats on search console.

But it might be different problem. Did you anything for seo or software updates?
For that just go to admin > settings > Reading enable Discourage search engine from indexing this site.
and for Google create a separate robot.txt
Google Search Results shows different variations when searched the Website name with adding a space. I am Using WordPress Yoast Plugin.
Sometimes the results just show as a link and sometimes the results shows with the Inner Page Link details as well?
Does anyone can help what makes that happen?
See Attached Sample
The inner page links you are referring are called termed as site-links by google, and these site-links are picked up by google based on your website ranking/traffic/popularity the more old/famous your site the fast site-links will be picked-up by google.
The search result is depends on the search phrase you use, Google will always match the search term with the title of the site, if more close the match the higher probability of pulling the site links.
You can also user google search console to demote the links to appear in google search.
And the Yoast SEO plugin will give you the options to title,describe,keyword every post and page of wordpress site, but this plugin/ any other plugins have no direct effect on this site links.
We made a google analytics account for one of our clients as part of the requirements.
Under Reporting tab, we have sections like Behavior -> Site Content -> All pages. In All Pages section we are able to see a table which contains all the urls which are viewed with respective pageviews , unique pageviews and other dimensions.
A normal page view looks like:"/pwsportal/faces/homePageNav/mktplan_adf.Ctrl_9_afrLoop_1234423".
Some how there are some weird page urls like :
I tried using Exclude Filters and couldn't eliminate these kind of urls.
From one on the blog i got to know that if any url contains any script tags it is a part of hacking technique called cross site scripting.
Finally i am here to find a solution to eliminate the these kind of existing urls and to prevent them from getting registered in future into google analytics.

SEO is a slow and steady process; naturally it will take time to achieve the top position in search result.
Things you should do;
1) Add meta title and description to each page based on the keywords
2) Include keywords in URL of the page
3) Create a webmaster tool and use fetch page option to get listed in search engines (Example: Google webmaster is must needed)
4) Create brand pages in social media sites and interlink with website
5) submit your website to dmoz.org

I am new to this but I was asked to help out at work with modifications of our web site, one of the first things I was asked to do was remove the page for a product we no longer stock. I removed the page and links so when you are on the site you do not have the option to even see the product.
So before changes where made you would navigate to "http://example.com" when pressing on lighting you would navigate to "http://example.com/lightbulb" showing the inventory.
Now with the changes in place there is no way to navigate to the product because it was removed when I type "http://example.com/lightbulb" in my url I get 404 page can not be found which is the desired behavior.
But when performing a Google search on "light bulb", Google is listing http://example.com/lightbulb as a an available domain with the same summary as before. Obviously when navigating to it, you get the 404 error, page can not be found,
What did I forget to do, so that search engines no longer list http://example.com/lightbulb with the summary?
Google robots does not crawl the website everyday but after a certain interval.
I would suggest you to create an account on Google Webmaster tools and check your website's indexing status.
Moreover using the tool, you can also make a request to Google to re-index your website.
Hope it helps you some extent.
It takes time for the search engines to update. In the meantime, you can add a "HTTP-301 Permanently Moved" redirect-script in the /lightbulb directory, by creating an 'index.php'-file and adding this code:
header('Location: http://example.com/', true, 301);
exit;
It will tell browsers and search engines that the new URL for your page is http://example.com/
