    Hello,

    Thanks for contacting us and we regret the inconvenience caused.

    We might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress & FTP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.

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

    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 have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    Thank you for that information.

    I’ve checked your sitemap, and indeed the post /raise-more-donations/ is still showing even it is already set to redirect.

    However, your sitemap is still being cached. I’ve already excluded it from being cached in your WP Rocket plugin by following this step:
    https://rankmath.com/kb/exclude-sitemaps-from-caching/#wp-rocket

    Now, the post is already removed from your sitemap. Please verify on your end as well. You can clear your browser’s cache or try using a different browser.

    I hope that helps.

    Thank you, and please don’t hesitate to contact us anytime if you need further assistance with anything else.

    I can confirm I don’t see those posts in the xml sitemap anymore so the solution was to exclude the xml sitemap from being cached by WP rocket.

    Thank-you for your prompt help in solving this one for me.

    Hello,

    We are super happy that this resolved your issue. If you have any other questions in the future, know that we are here to help you.
