Hi there.

Recently, I redesigned my website, and with this redesign, I have changed quite a lot of things inside the code and how the website works too. In a few days after I moved to a new website, I received a message in Ahrefs, that very old redirects are in the sitemap, all redirects I had been doing for almost a year, so it’s around 300 of them. Important note, that after I moved to a new website design I had to re-install rank math again, cuz it was removed by a mistake

How can I fix this problem not manually by removing each page one by one?

Hello,

Thanks for contacting us, and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

Can you please try following the steps below to see if that works for you?

1. Flush the Sitemap cache by following this video screencast:
https://i.rankmath.com/pipRDp

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:
https://rankmath.com/kb/exclude-sitemaps-from-caching/

3. If the above steps doesn’t seem to work, kindly apply the following filter code to your site.
```
add_filter( 'rank_math/sitemap/enable_caching', '__return_false');
```
Here’s how you can add filter/hook to your WordPress site:

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

Thank you.

Hello,

In this case, 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.

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):

We really look forward to helping you.

Thank you.
