Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with the sitemap generated by the Rank Math plugin. It seems that there might be a configuration issue causing the German pages to mix with your .com domain.
To address this, we recommend checking the following:
-
Sitemap Settings: Ensure that your sitemap settings are correctly configured. You can access these settings by going to Rank Math > Sitemap Settings in your WordPress dashboard. Make sure that only the desired post types and taxonomies are included in the sitemap.
-
Check for Plugin Conflicts: Sometimes, other plugins can interfere with how Rank Math generates the sitemap. You can use the Health Check plugin to identify any conflicts.
-
Flush Cache: If you are using a caching plugin, make sure to flush the cache and exclude the sitemap from being cached. You can find guidance on how to do this in our tutorial on excluding sitemaps from caching.
-
Custom Canonicals: If you have set custom canonical URLs for your posts, ensure they are correct, as this can affect what appears in the sitemap.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, we recommend replying to this ticket with your site URL so that a human agent from our support team can assist you further. Additionally, if you would like a comprehensive setup review, consider our professional setup service available at Rank Math Services, which requires a PRO subscription.
Thank you for raising this concern! We hope this helps you resolve the issue with your sitemap.
