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. I've checked the page sitemaps, and indeed they are accessible but not included on the main sitemap. Could you please confirm if you have added them using custom sitemaps? https://rankmath.com/kb/custom-sitemaps/ If those are normal pages, then they should show as well on the sitemap index. For initial troubleshooting, please follow the steps to flush the sitemap cache: 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/ And add this filter to your active child/theme’s functions.php file: add_filter( 'rank_math/sitemap/enable_caching', '__return_false'); Let us know how this goes.
