    Rank Math free

    Hi,
    I am a free RankMath user now and willing to subscribe soon. I face this issue when the plugin update is required, ‘/sitemap_index.xml’ page disappears. I had to update the plugin which is not enough to make it reappear. Additionally, I had to go to the sitemap settings and then save to get the /sitemap_index.xml page back. I hope you will look into this.
    Thank you.

  • Hello,

    Thank you for your query and we are so sorry about the trouble this must have caused.

    This indicates that your sitemap is heavily cached.

    Please follow the steps below:

    1. Flush the Sitemap cache by following this video screencast:

    2. Exclude the Sitemap files of the Rank Math plugin in your caching plugin. The cache could be via a plugin or from the server. For plugins or Cloudflare, please follow this article:

    3. Apply the following filter code to your site.

    
    add_filter( 'rank_math/sitemap/enable_caching', '__return_false');

    Here’s how you can add filter to your WordPress site:https://rankmath.com/kb/wordpress-hooks-actions-filters/

    Let us know how that goes. Looking forward to helping you.
