Pages showing in sitemap that should not be indexed

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math support and we apologize for the inconvenience.

We can see from your page source that these pages have already been set to noindex – but they are still showing up on your sitemaps. Have you tried flushing and regenerating your sitemap? Watch this screencast to do that: https://i.rankmath.com/pipRDp

That said, you can actually use the rank_math/sitemap/entry filter to forcefully remove the URLs from your sitemap. You can learn more about the filter here: https://rankmath.com/kb/filters-hooks-api-developer/#filter-sitemap-item

Here’s an example code, you can add to remove both URLs:

add_filter( 'rank_math/sitemap/entry', function( $url, $type, $object ){
	// List of URLs to exclude
	$exclude = array(
		'https://seasoft.com/products/',
		'https://seasoft.com/solutions/'
	);

	// Check if the URL is in the exclude list
	if ( in_array( $url['loc'], $exclude ) ) {
		// Return false to skip this URL
		return false;
	}

	// Return the original URL otherwise
	return $url;
}, 10, 3 );

Try this and let me know if it worked for you. Thank you for choosing Rank Math!
