    Hi

    I hope you can help, we have recently changed some product category pages to landing page style pages but now these pages do not appear in the sitemaps can you advise how i can get these new landing style pages to appear in a sitemap please.

    Here is an example of a page that we have converted to a landing page, it still as the product category URL as before but is not being picked up by the product-category sitemap that is set up.

    Many thanks

    Hello,

    We apologize for the issue you are facing with your new landing pages not appearing in the sitemap. To ensure that your new landing pages are included in the sitemap, please follow these steps:

    1. Check Visibility Settings: Make sure that the visibility settings for your new landing pages are set to public. If they are set to private or password-protected, they will not be included in the sitemap.

    2. Update Permalinks: Sometimes, updating your permalinks can help refresh the sitemap. Go to Settings > Permalinks in your WordPress dashboard and simply click Save Changes without making any modifications.

    3. Regenerate Sitemap: You can regenerate your sitemap by going to Rank Math > Sitemap Settings and toggling the sitemap feature off and then back on. This should refresh the sitemap and include any new pages.

    4. Submit Sitemap to Google: After regenerating the sitemap, make sure to submit it to Google Search Console to help Google crawl your new pages faster. You can find your sitemap at `https://support.rankmath.com.

    If you have followed these steps and the pages still do not appear in the sitemap, we recommend replying to this ticket with more details about your settings, and a human agent from our support team will assist you further.

    Thank you for raising this concern!

    Hello,

    Please try to follow the steps below and see if that works for you:

    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:

    Hello,

    Just go to your Google Search Console’s Sitemap section and remove all your sitemaps. Here’s a screenshot for your reference:

    Hello,

    Could you please apply the following filter on your website to disable the transients cache for the sitemap and see if that works for you?

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

    Here’s how you can add a filter/hook to your WordPress site:

    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.

    Please do take a complete backup of your website before sharing the information with us.

    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:

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/temporary-login-without-password/

    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):

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-security-audit-log/

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

    Thank you.
