Category sitemap

Hello,

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

One of your post sitemaps seems to be working just fine. Please refer to this screenshot: https://i.rankmath.com/mz9jJ8

As for your category sitemap, we might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress login in the designated Sensitive Data section.

Please do take a complete backup of your website before sharing the information with us.

It is completely secure and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the below plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/temporary-login-without-password/

You can use the above plugin in conjunction with the WP Security Audit Log to monitor what changes our staff might make on your website (if any):

We really look forward to helping you.

Hello,

I was able to check that your tags were set as noindex in the global Titles & Meta settings. I have set them to index and now the post-tag sitemaps are being included in your main sitemap.

For your category sitemap, your categories are set as noindex in the Advanced tab of your meta box. Please edit the categories and set them as index in the Advanced tab to include them in the category sitemap.

Hope this helps. Let us know if you need any other assistance.

Hello,

Sorry for the confusion. I checked your first category and it was set to noindex. I have set that as index.

However, for the screenshot that you have shared, I can see that you have inserted the canonical URL manually. Rank Math sets the URL of the category as the canonical URL when that field is empty. If you insert it manually then it will be excluded from the sitemap.

Please remove the canonical URL from the field and leave that empty. Save the category and it will be included in the sitemap.

Let us know how that goes. Looking forward to your update.

Thanks.
