    Dear RankMath,

    I am configuring my sitemap and I found a link in the pages section: https://stiefacademienederland.nl/leden/webmaster_stiefacademie/shop/

    ‘Leden’ = ‘Members’ in Dutch. I am using the BuddyBoss plug-in but I am curious why it is displaying this specific page (it is crawling the Members pages, searches for my webmaster user and displays my shop items. Not that people can reach it, but it is weird).

    Could you help me figure out how this link is displaying there? Are there settings I am missing?

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting the support, and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    I can’t seem to find that specific link in your sitemap pages. Can you please clear your browser cache and see if the issue goes away on your end?

    Furthermore, If you are still seeing this as an issue, please make sure that this page is not being indexed. Please see example screenshot below:
    indexed

    Head over to your WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > Titles & Meta > Authors > Author Robots Meta and make sure that “No Index” is selected.

    Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

    Hey Jeremy,

    Thanks for the update. Indeed I saw that it had been removed, but now it is back. I have entirely disabled the Author section and cleared the cache. Maybe it takes a little time for the sitemap to update?

    Regards,
    Joost

    Hello,

    Thank you for the follow-up, and sorry for the delay.

    I’ve also checked your sitemap, and it seems that the link you have provided is already removed from your sitemap. Could you please try viewing your sitemap in a different browser or using incognito mode (Google Chrome) as this might be a browser caching issue on your end?

    I’ve attached a screencast in the designated sensitive data section as well. Normally, your sitemap should show the changes after a few minutes.

    I hope that helps. Thank you, and please don’t hesitate to contact us anytime if you need further assistance.
