SEOPress Pro Troubleshooting: Fixing Duplicate Meta, Sitemap and Indexing Problems, Schema Mistakes, Redirect Loops, and AI Credit Confusion
SEO plugins usually work quietly in the background, and most problems only surface when something looks wrong in search results: a page shows the wrong title, a page that should be found is missing from Google, a redirect sends visitors in circles, or an AI feature asks for credits you did not expect. This guide works through the most common SEOPress Pro problems — what causes each one, how to check it, and how to fix it.
Before you start fixing anything, keep a full backup and a staging copy. Most SEO problems are not emergencies — work through one problem at a time, check the result, and only then move on to the next.

The Listing and the Facts Behind It
This guide covers the SEOPress Pro Plugin – Yearly License, priced at ৳500 — price may change — see the product page for the current price. It is a yearly license. Activation is seller-assisted: the WP Theme Bazar team activates the original license directly on your site, and the private license key is never shared. Original licensed activation is non-refundable after activation.
The shared facts: SEOPress Pro is a premium add-on that works on top of SEOPress Free — SEOPress Free must be installed first, as the official FAQ states. The free version is on wordpress.org with 300,000+ installs and a 4.8/5 rating, according to the product page. Official SEOPress pricing since August 1, 2025 is: 1 site $49/year, 5 sites $59/year, unlimited sites $149/year. SEOPress Insights ($99/year per site) is separate and is not included in Pro. SEOPress AI Credits are a separate subscription (from $19/month, non-refundable, with no rollover) and are never promised with this listing; buyers can alternatively use their own provider API key (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Mistral, or DeepSeek).
Problem 1: Duplicate Meta Tags — Two SEO Plugins Running at Once
The symptom: you view a page's source and find two title tags, two meta descriptions, or two canonical links — or Google shows a different title from the one you set in SEOPress.
The cause is almost always two primary SEO plugins active at the same time — each one writes its own set of meta tags into the page, and search engines receive conflicting instructions. A theme with built-in SEO output can cause the same problem.
The fix is to run only one primary SEO plugin at a time. Check your installed plugins list for any other SEO plugin — Rank Math, Yoast, All in One SEO, or a similar tool. Disable or remove the previous primary SEO plugin first, then keep SEOPress as the single primary SEO plugin. After removing the other plugin, clear any caching plugin and check the page source again: there should now be exactly one title tag, one meta description, and one canonical link per page. If duplication persists, check your theme settings for a built-in SEO or title option and switch it off, then clear the cache and test again in a private browser window.
Problem 2: The Sitemap Is Missing, Empty, or Shows the Wrong Pages
The symptom: your sitemap address returns an error, loads as a blank page, or lists pages you did not want indexed — tag archives, attachment pages, or old thin pages.
A missing sitemap usually comes from a conflict with a previous SEO plugin's sitemap, a caching plugin serving a stale copy, or a server rewrite issue. A sitemap with the wrong pages usually comes from the default inclusion settings.
The fix: first, confirm that only one primary SEO plugin is active, as in Problem 1 — a leftover sitemap from a removed plugin is a common culprit. Then open the sitemap address directly in your browser and check that it loads. In SEOPress, review which post types and taxonomies are included, and remove the ones you do not want found — usually tag archives and attachment pages. Clear your caching plugin after changing sitemap settings, and resubmit the sitemap in Google Search Console.
Problem 3: A Page Is Not Indexed, or the Wrong Page Is Indexed
The symptom: a new page does not appear in Google after days or weeks, or a page you wanted hidden — a cart page, a checkout page, a thank-you page — appears in search results.
For a missing page, it may be set to noindex, blocked in the sitemap settings, too thin or too similar to another page, or simply not yet discovered. For a page that should be hidden, it was never set to noindex.
The fix: check the page's own settings first — in the page editor, confirm it is set to be indexed in SEOPress, and check the sitemap settings to confirm the page's post type is included. Then use Google Search Console's URL inspection tool on that exact address to read what Google reports.
For a page that should not be indexed, set it to noindex in SEOPress. For a WooCommerce store, SEOPress Pro includes noindex controls for cart and checkout pages — make sure those are set. Remember: metadata alone does not guarantee rankings, and no SEO setting can force Google to index a page it considers low value — if a page is technically fine but still not indexed, the honest next step is usually to improve the page itself.
Problem 4: Schema Mistakes — Rich Results Missing or Wrong
The symptom: a product page shows no product information in search results, an FAQ section never appears as a dropdown, or a structured data testing tool reports errors for your schema.
The most common cause is schema for data that is not actually visible on the page — FAQ schema for questions nobody can read on that page, or product schema without a real product. The second most common cause is two sources outputting the same schema type: the SEO plugin and the theme, or the SEO plugin and another plugin. A third cause is incomplete details, such as product schema missing a price or an image.
The fix: check one page with a structured data testing tool and read the exact errors. Then check your schema rules in SEOPress Pro — automatic schema applies a chosen type to a whole post type, and manual schema sets details for one page — and make sure only one source is outputting each schema type. Apply the visibility rule strictly: only add schema for data actually visible on the page. Fix the details the testing tool flags, save, clear the cache, and test the same page again. Schema makes a page eligible for richer display, but Google decides what to show.
Problem 5: Redirect Loops and Redirects That Go Nowhere
The symptom: a page loads with a "too many redirects" error, a link sends visitors to a page that redirects to itself, or an old URL redirects to a page that no longer exists.
A redirect loop usually means two redirects point at each other, or a single redirect points at its own address. It can also happen when a redirect rule and a server rule disagree about a trailing slash, or http versus https. A redirect to a missing page usually means the destination was later deleted or its URL changed without updating the redirect.
The fix: list your redirects and read them as pairs. In SEOPress Pro, redirects support 301, 302, 307, 410, and 451 types, with import and export — export the list if it is long and check it in a spreadsheet. Look for any redirect whose destination is also the source of another redirect that points back, or whose destination no longer exists. Fix the chain so each old URL points directly at its final destination. After fixing, clear all caches and test the address in a private browser window. And build the habit that prevents most redirect problems: every time a URL changes, add or update the redirect in the same session, before you forget.
Problem 6: AI Credits Confusion — "Why Is It Asking Me to Pay?"
The symptom: you click an AI metadata feature in SEOPress Pro and are asked for credits or a subscription, or you expected AI to be included and it is not.
This is a misunderstanding of what is included, and it is a common one. SEOPress AI Credits are a separate subscription (from $19/month, non-refundable, with no rollover) and are never promised with this listing. Buying SEOPress Pro does not buy AI Credits. The credits are a separate product with their own billing, and they do not roll over to the next month if unused.
The fix: confirm what you actually bought — this listing is the yearly SEOPress Pro license, and AI Credits are not part of it. Then decide whether you need AI metadata at all: for most small sites, hand-writing titles and descriptions for the important pages and using templates for the rest is enough, and it costs nothing. If you do want AI assistance, subscribe to SEOPress AI Credits separately, or use your own provider API key — OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Mistral, or DeepSeek — in which case the AI cost is whatever that provider charges. Always edit AI suggestions before saving: AI drafts are often generic and sometimes inaccurate.
A Troubleshooting Routine That Prevents Most of These Problems
Most of the problems in this guide share the same few root causes: two SEO plugins active at once, a setting changed without checking the result, a cache serving an old version, or an assumption about what a purchase includes. A short routine prevents most of them: keep a full backup and a staging copy; run only one primary SEO plugin at a time; change one setting at a time and check the result; clear caches after every SEO change; and only add schema for data actually visible on the page.
If you need to revisit the setup itself, the listing is the SEOPress Pro Plugin – Yearly License at ৳500 — price may change — see the product page for the current price. Yearly license only, seller-assisted activation directly on your site, private license key never shared.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my page show two title tags in its source code?
Two primary SEO plugins are almost certainly active, or your theme is also outputting titles. Run only one primary SEO plugin at a time, then check your theme's SEO settings and clear your cache.
My sitemap loads but Google says some pages are not indexed. Is the sitemap broken?
Not necessarily. Being in a sitemap does not guarantee indexing. Check the page's index setting in SEOPress, improve the page if needed, and use Search Console's URL inspection tool to see what Google reports.
I added FAQ schema but no FAQ dropdown appears in search results. What is wrong?
Schema makes a page eligible for richer display, but Google decides what to show. First, confirm the questions and answers are actually visible on the page, and check the schema with a structured data testing tool.
Why does SEOPress Pro ask me to pay for AI Credits?
SEOPress AI Credits are a separate subscription (from $19/month, non-refundable, with no rollover) and are never promised with this listing. You can alternatively use your own provider API key, or simply write titles and descriptions by hand.
My site shows "too many redirects" after I added a redirect. How do I fix it?
Check for a loop: a redirect pointing at its own address, or two redirects pointing at each other. Make each old URL point directly at its final destination, check trailing slashes and http versus https, and clear all caches.
