    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.

    I am afraid that we do not have a setting to modify the sitemap URL. Would you mind letting us know why you would like to modify this to sitemap.xml while the current version is the most popular in terms of usage?

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

    Hi there,

    Thanks for the follow up.

    This should not cause a problem, you will only need to login to your search console dashboard and submit the new sitemap URL and the search engine will continue indexing your posts.

    I hope this helps. Thank you.
