how can I import yoast sitemap instead of creating a new one

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math today and bringing your concern to our attention. I’m sorry for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.

Rank Math doesn’t have any such functionality and that is not at all appropriate. Rank Math creates the sitemap on the fly and doesn’t create save the file.

Hope this helps you. Please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

Thank you.

Hello,

Thank you for getting in touch with us.

Yes, you can have the 600 links on one sitemap. You have to increase the links per sitemap by going WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > Sitemap Settings > General Tab > Links Per Sitemap:

You can’t rename the sitemap. But there is a filter by which you can add any ‘secret-word’ to your sitemap’s URL so that it isn’t accessible by anyone.

Let’s say you want to have a secret word “my-site” in your sitemap’s URL you can add this by this filter:

/**
 * Filter to change the Sitemap URL Base
 *
 * @param string $base New URL Base
 */
add_filter( 'rank_math/sitemap/base_url', function( $base ){
	return '/my-sitemap/';
}, 10, 1 );

Here is an article on how you can add any filter for Rank Math:
