Web Stories Sitemap not Updating while the other sitemaps are

Hello,

I apologize for the issue you are facing with the Web Stories sitemap not updating. This can sometimes happen due to caching issues or conflicts with other plugins. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot this issue:

1. Clear Cache: If you are using a caching plugin, clear the cache to ensure that the latest changes are reflected.
2. Check Settings: Ensure that the Web Stories module is activated in Rank Math. You can do this by going to Rank Math SEO → Dashboard and checking if the Google Web Stories module is enabled.
3. Re-save Permalinks: Sometimes, simply re-saving your permalinks can help refresh the sitemap. Go to Settings → Permalinks and click on Save Changes without making any changes.
4. Check for Conflicts: Deactivate other plugins temporarily to see if there’s a conflict affecting the sitemap update.
5. Manual Sitemap Update: You can also try manually triggering a sitemap update by going to Rank Math SEO → Sitemap Settings and clicking on the option to regenerate the sitemap.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, please reply to this ticket with your site URL so that a human agent from our support team can assist you further. Thank you for raising this concern!

Hello,

In this case, please follow these steps to flush your sitemap cache:

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. Disable the transient cache for the sitemap by applying this filter. This will make sure that your XML sitemap always reflects the latest changes on your site:

/** 
 * Filter if XML sitemap transient cache is enabled.
 *
 * @param boolean $unsigned Enable cache or not, defaults to true
 */
add_filter( 'rank_math/sitemap/enable_caching', '__return_false');
