Firewall malicious code detection in sitemap

#34905

    Hi,

    I’ve been using and liking RankMath however my firewall (Wordfence) repeatedly detects malicious code in a xml sitemap. The name of the file appears to be system generated since the name is unrecognizable. Can you help me with this xml file? I have deleted it and the file regenerates.

    Thanks

    Brian

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    The error is pointing to the local cache file. I can suggest that you add the following code to your theme’s functions.php file to disable caching of the sitemap:

    /**
     * Filter if XML sitemap transient cache is enabled.
     *
     * @param boolean $unsigned Enable cache or not, defaults to true
     */
    add_filter( 'rank_math/sitemap/enable_caching', '__return_false');

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

    Wordfence firewall needed to be changed for my server configuration. I am unsure if this change or adding the code above fixed this issue. Either way, I am no longer experiencing the error.

    Thank you for the help.
