    Hello Rank Math Support Team,

    I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to seek assistance with a concern I’ve encountered while using the Rank Math plugin on my website https://www.healthkept.com

    Issue Description:
    The Image Sitemap is not displaying in the Sitemap_index.xml file as expected. I have ensured that the necessary settings are correctly configured in the Rank Math plugin, but despite these efforts, the images do not appear in the Sitemap_index.xml.

    Steps Taken:

    1. Checked and confirmed the Image Sitemap settings in Rank Math >> https://prnt.sc/KwlL9Y3UTb_U
    2. Verified that images have not been properly indexed by the Google Search Console >> https://prnt.sc/QfZxCRWfwMIj
    3. Cleared cache and refreshed the Sitemap_index.xml file, but the issue persists >> https://prnt.sc/sqqimwmvRVGS

    Expected Result:
    I anticipate that the Image Sitemap should be visible within the Sitemap_index.xml, allowing search engines to index the images associated with my website.

    Website Details:

    Website URL: https://www.healthkept.com
    Rank Math Plugin Version: 1.0.213
    WordPress Version: 6.4.3
    The theme in Use: Groovy
    Caching Plugin: W3 Total Cache

    I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and would be grateful for any guidance or assistance you can provide to resolve this issue. If additional information is required, please let me know, and I will be happy to provide it.

    Thank you for your time and support.

    Best regards,
    Hendri

    Hello,

    I apologize for the issue you are facing with the Image Sitemap not showing in the Sitemap_index.xml file on your website https://rankmath.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/change-sitemap-settings.gif

    Based on the information provided, it seems like you have already taken some steps to troubleshoot the problem. Since the Image Sitemap is still not displaying in the Sitemap_index.xml file, I recommend following these additional steps:

    1. Check for Plugin Conflicts: Use the Health Check plugin to identify any conflicts with other plugins that might be affecting the Image Sitemap generation.

    2. Exclude Sitemaps from Caching: If you are using W3 Total Cache, create a separate user agent group and add the ‘_googlebot’ user agent to it as mentioned in our guide. Additionally, exclude the sitemaps from caching as explained here.

    If after following these steps the issue persists, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further.

    Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

    Best regards,
    Rank Math Support Team

    Hello,

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

    Please ignore the reply from the RankBot. Rank Math doesn’t generate any separate image-sitemap for your website. All the images are included in your post and page sitemap under the specific URL which is the recommended method by Google.

    You can also check the source code of your post/page sitemap to see all the images are included there.

    Hope that helps and please don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any other questions.
     
    Thank you.
