    Hello, we apologize for the issue you are facing with your HTML sitemap not showing the latest updates. This can happen for a few reasons:

    1. Caching Issues: If you have caching enabled on your website, it might be serving an older version of the sitemap. Try clearing your website cache to see if that resolves the issue.

    2. Sitemap Settings: Ensure that you have correctly configured the HTML sitemap settings in Rank Math. You can check this by going to Rank Math SEO → Sitemap Settings and ensuring that all relevant pages are included.

    3. Shortcode Usage: If you are using a shortcode to display the HTML sitemap, make sure that it is correctly placed in your post or page. You can refer to the following guide for adding the HTML sitemap shortcode:

      • Add a Shortcode block in your post/page editor and insert the HTML sitemap shortcode.

      Add shortcode to post/page

    4. Updates Not Reflected: If you have recently added new content, ensure that it is set to be indexed and visible in the sitemap. If you have custom canonicals set for posts, they may not appear in the sitemap.

    If these steps do not resolve the issue, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further.

    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:

    3. Apply the following filter to your site to disable the transients cache for sitemap.

    add_filter( 'rank_math/sitemap/enable_caching', '__return_false');
