    The product pages shown in the images are part of the WordPress theme, and I have already deleted them from the backend and emptied the trash. However, these links are still present in the sitemap. Additionally, the new blog post links I’ve added are not appearing in the sitemap. I suspect this is a caching issue. Therefore, I cleared the cache in the LiteSpeed plugin, excluded the sitemap from caching, and even uninstalled the cache. None of these actions worked. Finally, I also tried modifying the ‘Links Per Sitemap’ quantity in Rank Math SEO -> Sitemap Settings -> General, and re-saved the permalinks in the settings, but none of these efforts had any effect.

    Hello,

    I apologize for the issue you are facing with your sitemap not updating. It sounds like you’ve already taken several steps to troubleshoot this problem, which is great. Here are a few additional suggestions that might help resolve the issue:

    1. Flush the Sitemap Cache: Since you mentioned modifying the ‘Links Per Sitemap’ quantity, ensure you also flush the sitemap cache again after making that change. You can do this by navigating to Rank Math SEO → Sitemap Settings and adjusting the settings as you did, then saving changes.

    2. Exclude Sitemap from Caching: Make sure that your sitemap is excluded from any caching plugins you might be using. You can refer to this article for guidance on how to exclude sitemaps from caching.

    3. Check for Plugin Conflicts: Sometimes, other plugins can interfere with the sitemap generation. You can use the Health Check plugin to identify any potential conflicts.

    4. Disable Transient Caching: If the above solutions don’t work, consider adding the following filter to your theme’s rank-math.php file to disable transient caching:

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

    5. Verify Post Visibility: Ensure that the new blog posts are set to be visible in the sitemap. Go to Rank Math SEO → Sitemap Settings and check that the relevant post types are enabled for inclusion in the sitemap.
