Hi,
I hope you can help. I am obviously missing something.
I wish to exclude a number of pages from my Sitemap, such as Gallery, Search, Contact us etc.
I have looed up the Post ID from the URL, ie https://website/wp-admin/post.php?post=438&action=elementor.
Taking 438.
I then added these post ID to the Exclude Posts box in the General settings tab in the format 437,438,118,1185,479I then saved the changes, but the pages still show on in the site XML https://website/sitemap_index.xml
Please can you tell me what I am doing wrong.

Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
Can you please follow these steps?
1. Flush the Sitemap cache by following this video screencast:
https://i.rankmath.com/xXXhDt2. Exclude the Sitemap files of the Rank Math plugin in your caching plugin. The cache could be via a plugin or from the server.
If the issue persists, we might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress & FTP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.
It is completely secure and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the below plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead:

You can use the above plugin in conjunction with the WP Security Audit Log to monitor what changes our staff might make on your website (if any):

We really look forward to helping you.
