    Dear team,

    Google search console read my category and page site map, but not reading my post site map.

    Hello,

    We apologize for the issue you are facing with Google Search Console not reading your post sitemap. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot this problem:

    1. Validate Your Sitemap: Ensure that your post sitemap is correctly configured. You can use the Validate XML Sitemap tool to check for any issues.

    2. Check Sitemap Location: Make sure your sitemap is located in the root folder of your WordPress installation. The URL should look like this: https://yourdomainname.com/sitemap_index.xml.

    3. Ensure Posts Are Set to Index: If all your posts are set to noindex, your sitemap may appear empty. To check this, go to Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta and ensure the Index checkbox is enabled for your posts.
      Index Titles and Meta settings

    4. Submit the Sitemap Again: After making any necessary changes, resubmit your sitemap in Google Search Console to see if it gets read correctly this time.

    If you continue to experience issues after these steps, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further.

    Thank you for raising this concern!

    Hello,

    Can you please share your sitemap URL with us so that we can check this again further for you?

    Meanwhile, please try to follow the steps below and see if that works for you:

    1. Flush the Sitemap cache by following this video screencast:

    2. Exclude the Sitemap files of the Rank Math plugin in your caching plugin. The cache could be via a plugin or from the server. For plugins or Cloudflare, please follow this article:
    https://rankmath.com/kb/exclude-sitemaps-from-caching/

    Once done, clear your website cache, remove all the submitted sitemap, and resubmit only the /sitemap_index.xml in the Search Console.

    Let us know how it goes. Looking forward to helping you.

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    Your post sitemap is working fine after we checked and validated it. Kindly give Google some time to crawl and revalidate your sitemap.

    If the issue persists, please share a screenshot of the error you see on GSC under the sitemap section.

    Looking forward to helping you.
