Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with your HTML sitemap not adding new page links. To troubleshoot this, please ensure that you have the HTML Sitemap feature enabled in Rank Math. Here are the steps to check and configure your HTML sitemap:
-
Enable the HTML Sitemap: Go to your WordPress Dashboard, navigate to Rank Math SEO → Sitemap Settings → HTML Sitemap, and make sure the HTML Sitemap option is toggled on.

-
Check Display Format: Ensure that you have selected the correct display format (either Shortcode or Page) for your HTML sitemap. If you are using the Page option, make sure you have selected the correct page where the sitemap should be displayed.

-
Sort By Option: Since you mentioned sorting by published date, double-check that this option is set correctly in the HTML Sitemap settings.

-
Update Your Sitemap: After making any changes, ensure you save the settings and refresh your sitemap page to see if the new links appear.
If you have followed these steps and the issue persists, please reply to this ticket with any additional details or error messages you might be encountering, and a human agent from our support team will assist you further.
Thank you for raising this concern! We’re here to help you resolve it.
Hello Support,
I have around a 130 pages on my website https://lionready.com/insights/. The rankmath html sitemap stopped adding page links to my html sitemap page located at https://lionready.com/insights/. I have pages listed in order by published date. Could you give me guidance on how to get the sitemap to generate new page links please.
Thanks
Chris Jones
