Our SEO specialist reviewd our site for a month and tried to see why our site is not indexing images and most of the post pages:

"when I tried to inject noindex into a page for working purposes, it didn’t work either. The issue is with the plugin for multilang; it's not working properly and is instead creating duplicate content with different URLs, making the site buggy and complex.

You maybe have to remove WPML plugin and start over without it. All language versions are currently showing the same language: English, and it all seems to be bugged so that can be the reason the images and all pages wont come out in that long time.

Thanks for sharing your SEO specialist's observations.

We’ll definitely check this further on our end to identify what might be causing the indexing issues. While WPML is built to handle multilingual content effectively, we’ll investigate if any misconfigurations or conflicts could be resulting in duplicate URLs or incorrect language output.

Could you kindly share any detailed reports or documentation from your SEO specialist? This would help us better understand their analysis and speed up the troubleshooting process.

We’ll look into this as soon as we have more information from your side.

Images are not indexing if you google site:sortaider.com and choose images. There are actually lots of images but only 20 of them show. Also many blog posts does not come out of site:sortaider.com

This happened right before we made other languages with WPML. We had thoughts that maybe that Estonian language is bugged then it cant find the images in google, but im not sure.

Thank you for your response. I’ve checked and can confirm the issue when searching your website on Google. It appears that certain settings in your SEO plugin may be preventing the images from being indexed. I recommend reviewing the plugin’s configuration and resubmitting your site for indexing with an updated sitemap.

Thanks for the update and for the additional checks you've done with your SEO plugin support.

Please note that WPML itself does not control your website’s SEO behavior—this includes indexing, sitemaps, or how search engines crawl your content. These aspects are typically managed by your SEO plugin and how your website is configured.

If your SEO plugin provider has confirmed that all settings and sitemaps are correct, I would recommend following up with them to understand why image and post indexing is still incomplete. They may be able to offer deeper insight into how Google is interpreting your multilingual setup or whether there are additional steps needed (e.g., canonical tags, hreflang settings, structured data).

That said, we’re happy to look into the multilingual aspect to ensure there are no misconfigurations or conflicts from WPML’s side that could affect language output or URL structure. If you have any detailed reports or SEO logs to share, please send them over so we can assist further.
