Hello,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention. I’m sorry for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.

Could you please share your site so we can check as well? You can add it in the sensitive data section.

Meanwhile, if you’re referring to the product post type showing in your sitemap, you can disable it in Rank Math > Sitemap Settings and disable this option:

Looking forward to helping you.

Thank you.

Hello,

I’ve checked your sitemap, and there’s no product category. The /category-sitemap.xml is for your post’s categories.

Could you please confirm if you’re still seeing product categories in your sitemap? If so, please clear your website and browser’s cache and check again if the issue still persists.

I hope that helps.

Thank you.
