Hello,
Thank you for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that this issue might have caused.
We have seen this type of issue before with Divi. It happens when you are using dynamic images in Divi.
In this case, we suggest you please reach out to Divi Support to fix this on how they link out these images.
However, the only way to fix this issue temporarily is to disable the Images in the Sitemap option in Rank Math sitemap settings.
Hope that helps, and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math support.
We’re sorry to hear that you’re having some trouble with the images in the sitemap. It seems like the images or background images of the blurbs that you’re using in Divi are being added to the sitemap by Rank Math.
We suggest that you contact the Divi team and ask them if they have a solution for this issue, where you can exclude these images or background images of blurbs from the sitemap. They may have a filter or a setting that can help you with this.
As a temporary workaround, you can disable the Images in Sitemap option in Rank Math > Sitemap Settings > General. This will remove all the images from the sitemap, but it will also prevent any unwanted images from being added.
We hope this helps. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us anytime.
Thank you for choosing Rank Math. We hope you enjoy using our plugin.
