Hello,
We apologize for the issues you are facing with your archive page URL and sitemap.
Fixing the Archive Page URL
To resolve the issue with your blog archive page showing /template/ in the URL, you may need to check the following:
- Permalink Settings: Go to Settings → Permalinks in your WordPress dashboard and ensure that your permalink structure is set correctly. You might want to save the settings again to refresh them.
- Page Settings: Check the settings of your blog archive page. Ensure that it is set as the correct page for your blog posts under Settings → Reading.
- Theme or Plugin Conflicts: Sometimes, themes or plugins can interfere with URL structures. You can use the Health Check plugin to identify any conflicts.
Fixing the Sitemap URL
For the sitemap showing `https://rankmath.com/kb/check-plugin-conflicts/ this could be due to a misconfiguration in your sitemap settings. Here are some steps to troubleshoot:
- Sitemap Settings: Go to Rank Math SEO → Sitemap Settings and ensure that the sitemap is configured correctly. You may want to regenerate the sitemap after making any changes.
- Exclude from Caching: If you have caching enabled, ensure that your sitemap is excluded from caching. You can find instructions on how to do this here.
- Check for Static Files: Ensure there are no static files with the same name as your sitemap that could be causing conflicts.
If these steps do not resolve your issues, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further. Thank you for raising this concern!
