  • Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    I have checked your sitemap file and you have included media on your sitemap which means that Google is able to index the images and add them to the SERP.

    I can suggest that you disable the option to add media to your sitemap by heading over to Rank Math > Sitemaps Settings > Media tab as shown below:

    You can also go ahead and change the robots meta for media items to noindex via Rank Math > Titles & Meta > Media as shown below:

    I hope this info helps. Thank you.

    the problem is not one that links that are on the sitemap, I check it and don’t find the links that are identify on the google and suppose to be hidden, all of them are from this /wp-content/uploads/picu/collections/*****/. This is a custom post called collection and I check all the noindex, nofollow, ++ in all the configuration from rankmath referred to this custom post. But google recognize it no only the imagens but the link to that post. what can I do?
