    last modified date ain’t being updated in site map.

    is there any way i could updates last modified date of whole sitemap

    can’t i just regenerate sitemap

    actually i google search console is previewing old results.
    i had removed cache and submitted my sitemap again but i think google ain’t reading it as last modified ain’t changed.

    will turning off lastmodified in sitemap would force google to re crawl whole site

    or i’ll need to remove cache again and submit my sitemap again.

    as google live preview is displaying updated information but the page needs to re crawled but last modified date is getting in way

  • Hello,

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

    It is likely your sitemap is being cached on your site. If you are using a caching plugin, could you please add your sitemap URLs to be excluded from caching. Then clear your cache, resave your permalinks and sitemap settings.

    If the sitemap is still not updating after that, we might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.
    Sensitive Data Section

    It is completely secure and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the below plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead:

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/temporary-login-without-password/

    You can use the above plugin in conjunction with the WP Security Audit Log to monitor what changes our staff might make on your website (if any):

    We really look forward to helping you.

    Hello,

    I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    I saw you were already excluding sitemaps in SG Optimizer but not in WP Rocket (by the way, you have caching enabled in both plugins, usually is recommended to only use one cache plugin to avoid issues) so I added the exclusions to WP Rocket and now the sitemap seems to be working fine, could you check it?

    Looking forward to help you.

    Hello,
