    Hi there, maybe we have an issue with the sitemap crawler.
    We disabled the sitemap feature, but we can see in our database a lot of wp_postmeta selects
    on _wp_attached_file

    It looks like, that the sitemap crawler is running, even without actually creating the sitemap.
    Do you know how we can stop RankMath from doing this?

    Hello,

    Thanks for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    That query also runs to add the image to OpenGraph tags. So even if you have disabled the sitemap module, the query will run. You can also share the complete call stack of the function with us so we can check and confirm if that’s the case or not.

    Looking forward to helping you.
