WordPress Archive Page NoIndex warning from Google

I turned on my phone this morning and was greeted by an ominous email from The “Google Search Console Team,” with the seeming dire warning… They provided me with a link to the console where I was told that the page davidfrancis.org/2023/02/ would not be indexed by Google because it contained the meta tag “noindex.” I brought up the page, looked at the source, and sure enough, it was there.
