How do I include all webpages in my sitemap? How to make page canonical?

Hello, we apologize for the issues you are facing with your sitemap and canonical URLs.

To include all your webpages in your sitemap, ensure that:

1. Custom Canonicals: If you have set custom canonical URLs for your posts, those posts will not appear in the sitemap. To have all your posts included, you should remove any custom canonicals and allow Rank Math to generate the canonical URLs automatically.
2. Check Robots.txt: Make sure that your robots.txt file does not block any of the pages you want indexed. You can check this by going to Rank Math SEO → General Settings → robots.txt.
3. Sitemap Settings: Ensure that your sitemap settings are correctly configured in Rank Math. You can find these settings under Rank Math SEO → Sitemap Settings.

For making a page canonical:

• You can easily set or change the canonical URL using the Rank Math meta box in your page editor. Go to the Advanced tab in the meta box and enter the desired canonical URL in the Canonical URL field. This will inform search engines which version of a page should be considered the original.

If Google is labeling the wrong page as canonical, it may be due to duplicate content or incorrect canonical tags. To resolve this:

• Ensure that each page has a unique and relevant content to avoid duplication.
• Use canonical tags appropriately to indicate the preferred version of similar content.

If you continue to experience issues, please reply to this ticket with your site URL so we can assist you further.
