Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank math today.
This can happen if you are using it as a dedicated blog page and you have the same structure in permalinks as well.
Having the same URL in two places will not have ANY effect on your crawling. If you wish to remove a URL, you can use this filter: https://rankmath.com/kb/filters-hooks-api-developer/#change-remove-post-url
Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
So should i use this below code to remove /blog in sitemap page or post ?
Where should i put the code? In theme custom CSS?
add_filter( ‘rank_math/sitemap/xml_post_url’, function( $url, $post){
return $url;
}, 10, 2 );
Hello,
The code my colleague gave you was just the base code you should use, but you would need to customize it to fit your needs. I did it for you and you just need to add it at the end of the functions.php file in your current theme:
add_filter( ‘rank_math/sitemap/xml_post_url’, function( $url, $post){
if(strpos($url, '/blog')!==false){
return false;
}
return $url;
}, 10, 2 );
Looking forward to help you.
Thanks pal, appreciate it.
By the way, is this a compatibility issue with the theme and rankmath?
Maybe I can ask the theme to create a fix rather than placing the code in the function.php? It will be overwritten by the theme new updates, as the theme does not allow child theme.
