Hello,
I apologize for the inconvenience you are facing. If you have a sitemap that you want to add to the sitemap index in Rank Math, you can follow these steps:
- Go to your WordPress Dashboard.
- Navigate to Rank Math > Sitemap Settings.
- Scroll down to the section where you want to add the external sitemap (e.g., News Sitemap, Video Sitemap, etc.).
- Look for the option to add a custom sitemap URL or include external sitemaps.
If you are unable to find the option to add an external sitemap, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math support and bringing your inquiry to us.
To add an external sitemap to the Rank Math sitemap use the below filter. Please modify as needed:
add_filter( 'rank_math/sitemap/index', function( $xml ) {
$xml .= '
<sitemap>
<loc>http://example.com/new-sitemap.xml</loc>
<lastmod>2020-09-14T20:34:15+00:00</lastmod>
</sitemap>';
return $xml;
}, 11 );
Here’s a way to apply the filter on your site:
