sitemap

Hello,

We apologize for the issue you are facing with your sitemap. It sounds like there may be some incorrect entries in your sitemap that need to be addressed. Here are some steps you can take to resolve this:

1. Check for Duplicate Content: Ensure that you do not have multiple pages with the same or similar content, as this can lead to Google indexing unwanted pages. You can use canonical tags to indicate the original page if necessary.

2. Review Sitemap Settings: Go to the Rank Math settings and check your sitemap configuration. Make sure that only the pages you want indexed are included in the sitemap. You can find more information on configuring sitemaps here.

3. Remove Unwanted Pages: If there are pages in your sitemap that you did not create, you may need to check for any plugins or settings that might be generating these pages automatically.

4. Submit Correct Sitemap: Once you have corrected your sitemap, you can submit it to Google Search Console. The URL for your sitemap should be https://yourdomainname/sitemap_index.xml. You can follow the steps to submit your sitemap here.

5. Check for Plugin Conflicts: If issues persist, consider checking for plugin conflicts that might be affecting your sitemap generation. You can use the Health Check plugin for this purpose.

If you continue to experience issues, please reply to this ticket with your site URL so we can assist you further. A human agent from our support team will take over and provide more specific guidance.

Thank you for raising this concern!
