Oops! Something went wrong: Search Console Error on Wordpress Website

Hello!\n\nI have a question regarding an error I am experiencing on my Wordpress website using Elementor. Specifically, I am encountering the following error message in Google Search Console (URL Inspection):\n\n**Oops! Something went wrong**\n\n**We had a problem submitting your indexing request. Please try again later.**\n\nWhile the content is still indexed and crawled, I am consistently receiving this error when trying to update and request indexing for certain content on my website. This issue occurs with multiple pieces of content, despite them being similar and using the same methods. I am using Yoast.\n\nI am seeking any new tips or possible solutions to resolve this problem. Thank you!

This error message in Google Search Console often indicates a temporary issue with Google’s servers or a problem with your website’s indexing request. Here are some possible solutions to try:

  • Wait and try again later: The error message itself suggests this as a solution, and it’s often the most effective. Google’s systems can be busy, and the issue may resolve itself over time.
  • Check for recent website changes: Have you recently made any major changes to your website’s code or structure? These could be causing conflicts with Google’s indexing process. Consider reverting any recent changes or waiting for Google to re-crawl your site.
  • Verify your Search Console setup: Double-check that you’ve correctly set up your Search Console account for your website. Make sure the correct property is added and verified.
  • Check your Yoast settings: While Yoast is generally helpful for SEO, make sure your settings haven’t created any conflicting instructions for Google. Check that Yoast isn’t blocking indexing for the pages in question.
  • Clear your browser cache and cookies: Sometimes, this can resolve temporary errors by ensuring you are accessing the latest version of the website.
  • Contact Google Search Console support: If you’ve tried all the above and are still encountering the error, it’s worth reaching out to Google directly for further assistance.
