Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with your blog page appearing in the posts sitemap instead of the page sitemap. This can happen if the blog page is set to be indexed as a post type in your WordPress settings.
To resolve this, please check the following:
- Check the Page Settings: Ensure that your blog page is set as a static page in your WordPress settings. Go to Settings → Reading and confirm that the "Posts page" is set to the correct page.
- Review Rank Math Settings: In Rank Math, navigate to Rank Math SEO → Sitemap Settings and ensure that the blog page is not included in the posts section. You can also check if there are any custom settings applied to that specific page.
- Check for Custom Canonicals: If you have set a custom canonical URL for your blog page, it might affect how it appears in the sitemap. Make sure to remove any custom canonical settings if they are not necessary.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, please reply to this ticket with your site URL so we can assist you further. A human agent from our team will take over and provide more specific guidance.
Thank you for raising this concern!
