    Hello,

    We apologize for the issue you are facing with your sitemap not being indexed by Google Search Console. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve the problem:

    1. Validate Your Sitemap: Ensure that your sitemap is correctly configured. You can use the Validate XML Sitemap tool to check for any issues.

    2. Check Sitemap Location: Make sure your sitemap is located in the root folder of your WordPress installation. The correct URL should be `https://rankmath.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Manual-Action.png.

    3. Ensure Posts Are Set to Index: If your posts are set to noindex, they won’t appear in the sitemap. Go to Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta and ensure the Index checkbox is enabled for your posts.
      Index Titles and Meta settings

    4. Flush Permalinks: Sometimes, flushing permalinks can help. Go to the Permalinks page in your WordPress dashboard and click Save Changes without making any changes.

    5. Check for Plugin Conflicts: Use the Health Check plugin to check for any conflicts that might be affecting your sitemap.

    6. Custom Canonicals: If you have set custom canonical URLs for your categories, they may not appear in the sitemap. Consider removing them if you want all categories to be included.

    If you’ve tried these steps and are still having 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!

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    Please try to follow the steps below and see if that works for you:

    1. Flush the Sitemap cache by following this video screencast:

    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/

    Once done, clear your website cache, remove all the submitted sitemap, and resubmit only the /sitemap_index.xml in the Search Console.

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

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    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):

    We really look forward to helping you.
