Rank Math Issue

Hello,

We apologize for the issues you are facing with the Rank Math plugin on your WordPress site. Thank you for providing detailed information about the problems you’re experiencing. Let’s address each of your concerns:

1. Sitemap Generation

If your sitemap is not updating as expected, please ensure that you are submitting the correct XML sitemap to Google. The correct URL should be `https://rankmath.com/kb/fix-automatic-update-unavailable-for-this-plugin/#unable-to-encrypt. If you have confirmed that you are submitting the right URL but still face issues, consider checking for plugin conflicts using the Health Check plugin. Additionally, if you are using caching plugins, ensure they are configured correctly to allow Rank Math to generate the sitemap properly.

2. SEO Analysis

For the SEO analysis feature providing inconsistent results, it may help to ensure that you have the latest version of Rank Math installed. You can check for updates in your WordPress Dashboard under Plugins → Installed Plugins. If everything is up to date and the issue persists, it might be beneficial to clear any caching on your site and re-run the analysis.

3. Plugin Conflicts

Since you’ve already performed a health check and confirmed that the issue occurs even with only Rank Math and the default theme active, we recommend checking if there are any specific settings within Rank Math that might need adjustment. You can also refer to our troubleshooting guide for further steps.

If these suggestions do not resolve your issues, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will take over and assist you further.

Thank you for your patience, and we look forward to helping you resolve these issues!

Hello,

In this case, please follow these steps to flush your sitemap cache:

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/

3. Disable the transient cache for the sitemap by applying this filter. This will make sure that your XML sitemap always reflects the latest changes on your site:

/** 
 * Filter if XML sitemap transient cache is enabled.
 *
 * @param boolean $unsigned Enable cache or not, defaults to true
 */
add_filter( 'rank_math/sitemap/enable_caching', '__return_false');

If you’re not sure how to add this code, you can follow this guide:

Once done, remove your submitted sitemaps and resubmit your main sitemap only /sitemap_index.xml in your Google Search Console.

Looking forward to helping you.
