even if i put the site title before the title of the post it does not show up in the search engines. I deactivated the plugin for a few hours and then reactivated and have a feeling i may have done something wrong. As before this all my posts were showing in google.
this is my sitemap https://www.in2town.co.uk/sitemap_index.xml
in google console it shows for the above page Referring page

Hello, we apologize for the issue you are facing with your pages and posts not being picked up by Google after using RankMath.
To address this issue with your sitemap and canonical URLs, there could be a few reasons why your URLs are not included in the sitemap:
-
Custom Canonical URL: If you have set a custom canonical URL for a post or page, Google may attribute the content to the canonical URL instead of the original URL. You can check and modify the canonical URL setting in Rank Math under the Advanced Tab. Here is a screenshot for reference:
-
Exclusion from Sitemap Settings: Your URL might not appear in the XML sitemap if the post or page is excluded from the Sitemap Settings of Rank Math. Check under the Sitemap tab in Rank Math settings to ensure that the URL is not excluded in Exclude Posts or Exclude Terms sections. Here is a screenshot illustrating how to exclude posts and terms in Sitemap settings:
If you have checked these settings and the issue persists, please let us know, or you can reach out to our support team directly here for further assistance. Thank you for raising this concern, and we are here to help you further.
