    I have recently created two custom post types and each one has 10-15 entries to it. However, neither post type is being included in sitemap_index.xml, and both of their individual sitemaps are returning a 404 error. I have re-saved permalinks, flushed the cache both on the hosting side as well as in Cloudflare, and confirmed that both post types are set to be indexed + included in sitemaps. Any ideas on why these two still aren’t showing up?

    To be clear, we’re talking about custom post types here – not taxonomies.

    Hello,

    I logged in to your website and checked the settings.

    I re-saved the sitemap settings(without changing anything) and the sitemap is now updated.
    (Check screenshot in the sensitive data section)

    I will suggest that you add the following filter in the theme’s functions.php file to exclude the sitemaps from caching:

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

    Here is a guide you can follow to add the filter:

    Hope that helps.

    Looking forward to helping you.
