Google Search Console reports me errors in sitemaps.xml

    Rank Math free

    Hi, in the sitemaps.xml (generated by the Rank Math plugin) the url to the different home pages of each language indicated as follows:

    url for homepage IT = https: //example.est/
    url for homepage EN = https: //example.est/en/home/
    url for homepage ES = https: //example.est/es/home/

    Instead on the pages of the site, the language selectors (for translations I use the WPML plugin) show these links:

    link for homepage IT = https: //example.est/
    link for homepage EN = https: //example.est/en/
    link for homepage ES = https: //example.est/es/

    The consequence of this is that Google search console reports me errors for “Duplicate and sent URL not selected as canonical”.

    I ask, how can I make the sitemaps urls match the menu links?

    NB: in sitemaps.xml at the moment there are NO url identical to the links So I can’t just tell Rank Math to exclude the url

    https: //example.est/en/home/

    because then I would not have any url pointing to the homepage in English.

    Maybe I should replace it with the following url, but I don’t know how to do with rank math:

    https: //example.est/en/

    Thanks to those who can help me

  • Hi Uzair thank you very much for your availability.

    Before turning to Rank Math for a solution I had already opened a tiket with the assistance of WPML. Their answer was: the frontend links to the homepages of the different languages are right as well as the WMPL sets them. The sitemaps with errors is generated by the Rank Math plugin.

    I have now followed your suggestion and opened a new ticket with the assistance of WPML by referencing a link to this thread. In case of answer I will update you.
