[Resolved] Page with redirect issue in Google Search Counsel

[yuping]

Hi,

I use a custom page as a homepage in many sites, and Google search counsel says it’s “page with redirect” and a reason not to index.
But I need to use a page as homepage, using latest posts might solve this issue but not possible.

Is there a solution to shut up Google search counsel?
Thanks.

Hi there,

in Dashboard > Settings > Reading, you can set the Homepage to display a static page. That doesn’t require redirects.

Hi, that’s the setting I did, but google still shows me the message.
Maybe I just have to ignore it?

Thanks!

That should not create a redirect. So the GSC should not report it as such.
Can i see one of the sites where GSC reports this ?

Sure, send you the URL.
Attached here the screenshot from GSC:

I tested that page, and i cannot see any redirect.
Might be worth opening a topic with their support:
