    Rank Math free

    Good morning,

    I have modified the website in relation to the Blog so that I have created categories and tags and assigned them to the entries. I do not intend to index the categories or tags. I have modified the url access to the entries so that between the domain and the entry I have included the name of the main category.
    I had the problem when I went to Rank Math to get the url of the entries I wanted to upload to GSC but when I went to verify that it includes the new urls it showed me Error 404. It does show the sitemap of the pages correctly.
    I have been reading the support information and have followed your instructions:
    1. Entered Rank Math->Sitemap Settings and hit save after modifying the number of links per sitemap.
    2. Entered in Settings->Permanent links and click on Save.
    3. I have included the sitemap urls (main and specific) in the Varnish plugin dynamic caching URL exclusion list.
    4. I deleted the WP Rocket cache and cleared the Varnish cache.
    It still shows Error 404 when accessing the sitemap of the entries. Can you please tell me how I can resolve this? Thanks

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting the support and we regret the inconvenience caused.

    Please add the below filter to the website:

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

    You can follow this guide to add the filter:
    https://rankmath.com/kb/wordpress-hooks-actions-filters/

    Once done, please flush the sitemap’s cache by following this screencast again and see if that helps: https://i.rankmath.com/pipRDp

    Let us know how that goes.

    Thank you.

    Hello!
    I did what you indicated but I kept getting error 404. From hosting support (I had also asked there) they have told me to remove the canonical urls from the post. I have tried it for one post and I have verified that it already generates the sitemap correctly.
    I assigned to each post a canonical url because each post has 2 categories and I wanted to avoid penalties for duplicate content but they tell me that I will not have a problem for it.
    In any case, thank you very much for your help!

    Hello,

    Yes, Rank Math does not add the URLs to the sitemap if there is a custom canonical URL added to the page.

    If you have any questions in the future, please feel free to create a new forum topic, and it will be our pleasure to assist you.

    Thank you.
