Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with your homepage not appearing in your sitemap. This can happen for a few reasons. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot this issue:
-
Check Canonical Tags: If you have set a custom canonical URL for your homepage, it may not appear in the sitemap. Rank Math includes a self-referencing canonical for all posts that are set to Index. If you want your homepage to be included, ensure that there is no custom canonical set for it.
-
Sitemap Settings: Make sure that the homepage is set to be indexed in the Rank Math settings. You can check this by going to the Rank Math SEO settings and ensuring that the homepage is configured correctly.
-
Robots.txt File: Ensure that your robots.txt file is not blocking the homepage from being indexed. You can check this by going to Rank Math SEO → General Settings → robots.txt.
-
Plugin Conflicts: Sometimes, other plugins can conflict with Rank Math. You can use the Health Check plugin to identify any potential conflicts.
If you have checked all of these and the issue persists, please reply to this ticket with your site URL so we can assist you further. A human agent from our support team will take over and provide more specific help.
Thank you for raising this concern!
