    Hello,

    I’m sorry to hear about the issue you’re facing with the author not being visible in the sitemap despite having all settings correct. From the screenshots you provided, it seems that the author settings are configured correctly.

    Since the author is not appearing in the sitemap, let’s ensure that the author pages are not excluded from the sitemap settings.

    1. Please navigate to your Rank Math settings and check the Authors sitemap settings to ensure that authors are not excluded based on user IDs or user roles.

      Exclude options in Author Sitemap settings

    2. If the issue persists, you can also verify if the author page is set to noindex. To check this, go to the Advanced tab of the author page and ensure that the Robots Meta tag is set to Index.

    If after checking these settings, the issue still persists, please feel free to reply here, and a human agent from our support team will assist you further.

    Thank you for your understanding and patience.

    Hello,

    We can see your author sitemap can be accessed from https://findmyfarmhouse.com/author-sitemap.xml but it is not showing on the main /sitemap_index.xml:

    In this case, please try to follow the steps below and 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 don’t seem to work, kindly apply the following filter 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,

    This was a bug in the previous version of our plugin where the author sitemap was not being included in the main sitemap when you excluded user roles from the author sitemap. Please update the plugin to the latest version on your site to fix the issue: https://rankmath.com/changelog/

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

    Hello,

    The 1.0.221 version is still in beta and it is currently not available in the WP repository.

    The current stable version is 1.0.220 so if you wish to use the beta to fix the issue, you may follow this guide: https://rankmath.com/kb/version-control/#beta-updates

    If you don’t prefer the beta version, you can wait for the stable release.

    Looking forward to helping 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.

    Sensitive Data Section

    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):

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-security-audit-log/

    We really look forward to helping you.

    Hello,

    Apologies for the delay as this ticket seems to have been stuck in our drafts section for some reason.

    Could you please share the FTP details in the sensitive data section so we can investigate it further?

    Meanwhile, you may also try fixing this by adding this code: 

    $exclude_roles = is_array($exclude_roles) ? array_values($exclude_roles) : $exclude_roles;

    at this Rank Math file after line 274:
    wp-content/plugins/seo-by-rank-math/includes/modules/sitemap/providers/class-author.php

    Please do take a complete backup of your website before updating the file

    If you’re not confident with the process, we may continue fixing it by access your website files via FTP.

    Let us know how this goes.

    Hello
    After Debugging the plugin i notice the bug here to fix the author is not adding to sitemap !

    here : ( function get_index_users() )
    \wp-content\plugins\seo-by-rank-math\includes\modules\sitemap\providers\class-author.php

    ( 285 ) umt.meta_key =’wp_capabilities’
    ( 299 ) u.ID = umt.user_id AND umt.meta_key = ‘wp_capabilities’

    But see wp_ is the default prefix ..
    but for mine website i have setup different prefix farm_
    https://ibb.co/5krjLmk

    so in this case meta key become farm_capabilities
    https://ibb.co/5Ycs76J

    So on next update kindly plz use the dynamic Prefix while using query…

    After this change seems working things are Good

    Have a grate day !
    thank you !

    function get_index_users()
    wp-content/plugins/seo-by-rank-math/includes/modules/sitemap/providers/class-author.php

    Kindly please use dynamic prefix won sql
    i don’t have meta key wp_capabilities

    but i have diffrent prefix so now i have meta_key = farm_capabilities

    so due to this mismatch i never got any user so sitemap dosen’t include any user 🙁

    i hope you can fix it by next update !
    Thank you !

    Hello,

    That code is not looking at the database table with that prefix. That code is looking at the option called wp_capabilities which is always called that in WordPress.

    If you look inside your options folder you’ll see this option there.

    Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.
