I have a few links that I do not want to be indexed by Google. But googleshows me the following statistics error.
The weirdest part is that I configured these links not to be indexed.
Like I set a similar rule in robots.txt for my website. But google still catches them to me like error. Can anyone help me how to solve this problem?
My site is on a Linux platform and CMS WordPress system.

WordPress website
Checked and no security issues
Checked and not black listed
Checked correct settings in Yoast
Checked basics in Google Search Console
Checked asked Google to reindex pages with issues
Pages appear in the sitemap
25 pages are indexed on the site so know there is no wider issue
Have a client website https://mgrplumbingandheating.co.uk/ the issue is that many of the pages are not being indexed by Google. Have taken all the above steps, and see no issue with the way pages are built.
Example page with issue indexing is https://mgrplumbingandheating.co.uk/landlords-safety-checks-berkhamsted/)
Any help would be handy, going crazy with this.
Have requested indexing of pages several times over the last 3-4 weeks.
Is there anything else I can do or try to get these pages indexed?
Once try the Rankmath SEO plugin and add the sitemap url to Google Console provided by Rankmath and check wether the pages is indexing or not.
Check the Yoast setting of the page which is not indexing and make sure it is set to "index"
The website is a wordpress site and it was been attacked by xss attack. Ive already installed wordfence and malcare to scan and remove the malicious code and files. but still the google search results are show spam links under the main result. I most of the pages direct to 404 webpages and i was told the google bot will remove it automatically but the issue still remains after 4 days. if any expert regarding this have any solutions and advice i would much appreciate.
You can try resubmitting you sitemap to Google in the Search Console.
Otherwise, similiarly try using the Google Removals tool to temporarily these links, hopefully the will be cleared from the search results by the the time the links are restored.

Two days ago we posted a new blog on a site with the aim of being picked up for the search term "live comedy in chippenham". It’s been indexed by Google and we’re now 2nd in the results for the search query. The bad news is that for some reason the post has been indexed as a https URL so all browsers give a warning when the link is clicked.
Firefox gives this error:
The owner of www.neeld.co.uk has configured their website improperly. To protect your information from being stolen, Firefox has not connected to this website.
The host has confirmed that it's not a server config error and we have other posts and pages on the site that are being indexed correctly. We're using WordPress and the Yoast plugin. I can't see anywhere in Webmaster Tools that could be causing the problem.
Can anyone offer any advice please? If you search Google for "live comedy in chippenham" you'll see the issue (it's the link https://www.neeld.co.uk/live-comedy-in-chippenham/)?
It's a really strange one but something I've experienced before.
It has mostly likely been caused by an external link to the page using https protocol which Google has followed before indexing the page. Google are very keen to index https pages at the moment so we might start seeing this kind of issue more often.
There's not a lot you can do other than wait for Google to realise their mistake and list the correct URL in the SERPS. You can help speed this along with a canonical link (which I can see is there), XML sitemap (which you've got) and a server level redirect of https to http.
Do not try to remove the page in Webmaster Tools as this won't have the desired effect and will stop Google reindexing the page properly.
Hope this helps.
I've read the questions and searched. My URL is: http://website.com
I recently created a website for one of our client, and added content and images are setup. I've verified the site with google webmasters, added analytics to the site.
The issue that I am experiencing is that I am searching for the keyword "" and our domain "http://website.com" is not showing up at all. Even if I type as "site:website.com" the domain doesn't show up.
I would appreciate if some one could assist me, if am doing anything wrong?

Thanks for all who tried to assist me...
Google does not add your site immediately to their search index. Even if Google already crawled your site it can take more than a day until it is added to the public available search index.
Try it again in 24-48hours and contact google if it still does not show up.
I recently built and published my Wordpress site at www.kernelops.com and submitted it to the google index and webmaster tools. Today I logged into webmaster tools and found 60 URL errors all with the same type of issue. The base domain address www.kernelops.com is being appended to all my sites page, category, and post URLs. An example of the failed URL looks like this:
http://www.kernelops.com/blog/www.kernelops.com
Google Webmaster Tools indicates that this weird link is originating from the base url "http://www.kernelops.com/blog" which obviously means the issue is on my end. My Wordpress permalink settings are set to use the post-name; I'm not sure if that could be causing this, i.e.:
http://www.kernelops.com/sample-post/
I can't seem to find any help resolving this weird issue with google searches and thought someone here may be able to point me in the right direction.
The Wordpress plugins that would potentially affect the site's URLs are the following:
All in One SEO
XML-Sitemap
But I can't see any sort of setting within these plugins that would be causing this type of issue.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated - thanks in advance!
This is a long shot, but it may be happening if the Google crawler picks up a link that seems like a relative path and attempts to append it to the current directory. It's highly unlikely that Google would have such a bug, but it's not impossible either.
The closes thing I could find that may be considered a relative path is this:
<div class="copyright">
...
Kernel, Inc.
...
</div>
I doubt that this is the problem, but it may be worth fixing it.
Now, there is yet another possibility and that's if the website serves slightly different content depending on the User Agent string. When Google presents your website with a User Agent string, the SEO plugins detects it and tries to optimize things in order to improve your ranking (not familiar with that plugins, so I don't know what it does exactly). There may be a bug in the SEO plugin that will cause the www.kernelops.com URL to look like a relative path or to actually construct that faulty URL somehow.
You can possibly test this by setting the user-agent string in your browser (e.g. FireFox's user-agent switcher) to Googlebot's user-agent string and test what happens when you visit your website. Look at the page source that you receive and look for any links that might look like the one Google is finding.
However, if the SEO tool is smart enough, it will "realize" that your IP doesn't match one of the valid IPs for Googlebot and it will not make the modifications.
