Hello Benjamin,
I apologize for the inconvenience you’re facing with updating the sitemap on your website digitales-institut.de. I understand that you would like to update the sitemap manually or once per day.
To update the sitemap manually, you can follow these steps:
- Log in to your WordPress dashboard.
- Go to WordPress Dashboard → Rank Math SEO.
- Enable the Sitemap module if it’s not already enabled.
- Navigate to Rank Math SEO → Sitemap Settings.
- Click on the “Save Changes” button at the bottom of the page to regenerate the sitemap.
Here is a screenshot to help you locate the Sitemap module and the Sitemap Settings page:
If you want to update the sitemap automatically once per day, Rank Math has a built-in feature that automatically updates the sitemap whenever there are changes on your website. You don’t need to manually update it every day.
However, if you’re experiencing issues with the sitemap not updating properly, it could be due to server limitations or other factors. In that case, I recommend checking your server configurations as mentioned in our knowledge base article here to ensure that your server meets the requirements for a smooth running sitemap.
If the issue persists or if you have any further questions, please feel free to reply to this ticket. Our dedicated support team is available 24/7 and will be happy to assist you.
Thank you for your understanding.
Best regards,
RankMath Support

Thanks but this doesn’t solve my problem unfortunately. Although it seems that it updated indeed, still most stuff is missing, what is even more confusing than before.
