Date of Sitemap doesn’t updated

Hello,

We apologize for the issue you are facing with your sitemap not updating correctly. This can sometimes happen due to caching issues or conflicts with other plugins. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot this problem:

1. Flush the Sitemap Cache: If you are using a caching plugin, make sure to clear the cache and exclude your sitemap from being cached. You can find instructions on how to do this in our tutorial on excluding sitemaps from caching.

2. Check for Plugin Conflicts: Use the Health Check plugin to determine if there is a conflict with another plugin that might be affecting the sitemap.

3. Permalinks: Sometimes, simply saving the permalinks again can resolve issues with the sitemap. Go to Settings > Permalinks in your WordPress dashboard and click Save Changes without making any changes.

4. Check Custom Canonicals: If you have set custom canonical URLs for your posts, they may not appear in the sitemap. Consider removing these custom canonicals to allow Rank Math to generate them correctly.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, please reply to this ticket with your site URL so we can assist you further. Thank you for raising this concern!
