Indexing issues

Hello,

We apologize for the issue you are facing with the post sitemap not being indexed by Google Search Console. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot this issue:

1. Check for Content: Ensure that there is content on your posts. If there are no posts or if they are set to noindex, the sitemap will not contain any URLs.

2. Sitemap Settings: Go to Rank Math SEO → Sitemap Settings and ensure that the post types are not blocked from appearing in the sitemap. Make sure that the option for posts is enabled.

3. Flush Permalinks: Sometimes, flushing permalinks can resolve issues with sitemaps. Navigate to Settings → Permalinks in your WordPress admin area and click the “Save Changes” button without making any changes.
   

4. Check for Plugin Conflicts: Use the Health Check plugin to check if there is a conflict with another plugin that might be affecting the sitemap functionality.

5. Robots.txt File: Ensure that your robots.txt file is not blocking the post sitemap. You can check this in Rank Math SEO → General Settings → robots.txt.

6. Custom Canonicals: If you have set custom canonical URLs for your posts, they may not appear in the sitemap. Consider removing those custom canonicals to allow Rank Math to generate them automatically.

If you have checked all these points and the issue persists, please reply to this ticket with your site URL so we can assist you further. A human agent will take over and provide more specific help.

Thank you for raising this concern!
