Hello,
I apologize for the inconvenience you are facing with the list of articles appearing at the bottom of your website. To resolve this issue, you can disable the indexing of the search result pages using Rank Math.
Here’s what you need to do:
- Navigate to Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta → Misc Pages from your WordPress dashboard.
- Enable the Noindex Search Results option.
By following these steps and enabling the Noindex Search Results option, you can prevent the list of articles from showing up at the bottom of your website.
If you need further assistance or have any other questions, feel free to reach out to our dedicated support team.

Hello,
Thank you for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
It seems like you’ve selected your homepage to display your HTML sitemap and that’s why the URLs are showing there.
In this case, please head over to your WP Dashboard > Rank Math > Sitemap Settings > HTML Sitemap, and from there change the page or disable the HTML sitemap:
Let us know how it goes. Looking forward to helping you.
Thank you.
Hey, you’re right. After turning off the setting you said, the problem was fixed. When I check it as sitename/sitemap.xml, it still appears. I guess the sitemap will continue to appear even though the setting is disabled. Am I right?
Hello,
The HTML sitemap is different from the XML sitemap. The main difference between XML and HTML sitemaps is that an HTML sitemap helps visitors gain a comprehensive understanding of your site, while XML, more specifically, caters to search engines.
Here is a guide you can follow to use the HTML sitemap: https://rankmath.com/kb/html-sitemap/
Hope this helps. Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you require any further assistance.
Thank you for choosing Rank Math.
