    Hello,

    Thank you for reaching out with your question about adding custom URLs to the Sitemap Index in Rank Math.

    To add custom URLs to the Sitemap Index in Rank Math, you can follow these steps:

    1. Adding Custom URLs: You can include custom URLs in the sitemap by entering the custom field names in the respective fields provided by Rank Math. Make sure to add only one entry per line so that Rank Math can understand them better and include them in your sitemap.

    2. Visibility of Custom URLs in Sitemap Index: Once you have added the custom URLs, they should be visible in the Sitemap Index along with the pre-defined sets. You can categorize them for easy checking.

    3. Categorizing Custom URLs: To categorize the custom URLs and pre-defined sets in the Sitemap Index, you can organize them based on your requirements. This categorization will help you easily identify and manage the URLs.

    4. Dynamic Nature of Custom URLs: Since custom URLs are dynamic, you can update them as needed directly in Rank Math’s settings.

    5. Filtering Custom URLs: To filter and categorize the custom URLs and pre-defined sets effectively, you can use the filtering options available within Rank Math’s Sitemap settings. By organizing them into different sections or categories, you can easily manage and monitor the URLs in the Sitemap Index.

    If you need further assistance or detailed guidance on adding and categorizing custom URLs in the Sitemap Index, please feel free to reply to this ticket, and a human agent from our support team will assist you promptly.

    Thank you for your understanding and patience.

    Closing spiel.

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math support.

    To add custom URLs to your Rank Math sitemap, you can use the following filter:

    /**
 Filter to add extra URLs to the XML sitemap by type.
 *
 Only runs for the first page, not on all.
 *
 @param string $content String content to add, defaults to empty.
 */
add_action( 'rank_math/sitemap/{$type}_content', function() {
return '<url>
<loc>https://rankmath.com/some-custom-url/</loc>
<lastmod>2020-06-10T20:20:20+00:00</lastmod>
</url>';
});

    Replace {$type} with either post or page depending on if you want the URL to be included in the post or page sitemap – respectively.

    Here’s how you can add filter/hook to your WordPress site:

    Once done, please flush the Sitemap cache by following this video screencast:

    Can u tell us what does it mean (Only runs for the first page) not on all.??

    Predefined sets are the default sitemap generated through site map

    Custom URL – 1
    Custom URL – 2

    Are sets each set includes more than 1000 urls and still growing
    and we mean to say that this set of urls are basically type of cpt categories and we want to include it….

    Hello,

    Thank you for your patience.

    In this case, you should follow this guide so you can include a custom sitemap in the Rank Math index sitemap:
    https://rankmath.com/kb/custom-sitemaps/

    The links inside the custom sitemap URLs should be added under this function:

    public function get_sitemap_links( $type, $max_entries, $current_page ) {

    Hope that helps.
