Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math.
You need to use our filter hooks to do that. Please take a look at the URL below.
https://rankmath.com/kb/filters-hooks-api-developer/#add-extra-urls-in-sitemap
This is the sample code to use if you want an extra URL on your site. You need to add this code to your functions.php.
/**
Filter to add extra URLs to the XML sitemap by type.
*
Only runs for the first page, not on all.
*
@param string $content String content to add, defaults to empty.
*/
// {$type} Change it to what post type page, post, product etc you trying to add the extra url.
add_action( 'rank_math/sitemap/{$type}_content', function() {
return '<url>
<loc>https://rankmath.com/some-custom-url/</loc>
<lastmod>2020-06-10T20:20:20+00:00</lastmod>
</url>';
});
I hope this helps.
Thank you.
What does it mean “Only runs for the first page, not on all.”?
Will generated by Rank Math meta work on such pages? Like descriptions…
Hello,
Thank you for the follow-up.
The code should go on your theme’s functions.php file. Only runs for the first page, not on all. – This line means that the links will be added to the first page and not to the sub-sitemaps.
Rank Math’s meta tags work on your pages, posts, products, and custom post types. You can check this link on how to set up your meta description:
