Add parameters to the sitemap

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to us regarding forcing Rank Math to include paginated pages with parameters in the sitemap.

To ensure that Google indexes those paginated pages with parameters like `https://rankmath.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/image-custom-fields-pages.jpg you can add those specific URLs to your sitemap using the Rank Math plugin.

Here is how you can manually add these paginated pages to your sitemap:

1. Go to your WordPress Dashboard.
2. Navigate to Rank Math SEO > Sitemap Settings.
3. Scroll down to the General Settings section.
4. Click on the Custom URLs tab.
5. In the Custom URLs field, enter the URLs of the paginated pages you want to include in the sitemap, each URL on a new line.
6. Save your changes.

By following these steps, you can force Rank Math to include the paginated pages with parameters in your sitemap, allowing Google to index them accordingly.

If you encounter any issues or need further assistance, please feel free to reach out to our support team by clicking here.

We are here 24/7, 365 days a year to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have.

Hello,

This enhancement has already been added to the repository to include pagination in our Sitemaps. However, we don’t have an ETA for this implementation with Rank Math.

We will notify everyone via the usual communication channels once this is added to our latest update.

You can also keep an eye on our changelog here:

In the meantime, you may need to use and customize this filter to achieve it. The other option is to create a custom sitemap by following this guide: https://rankmath.com/kb/custom-sitemaps/

Looking forward to helping you.
