Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with the Rank Math SEO plugin. The "Links Per Sitemap" option is indeed a setting that allows you to control how many links are included in each sitemap page. However, it seems that this option may not be visible in your current setup.
For users of the free version of Rank Math, the default setting for links per sitemap is typically set to 200, which is recommended for better performance and faster crawling by search engines. If you have a large website with over 3500 URLs, it can indeed create multiple sitemap pages, which might not be ideal for your needs.
To address this issue, we recommend checking the following:
- Update Rank Math: Ensure that you are using the latest version of the Rank Math plugin, as updates may include new features or fixes.
- Check Settings: Navigate to Rank Math SEO → Sitemap Settings and see if there are any options related to sitemap settings that might be hidden or not configured properly.
- Plugin Conflicts: Sometimes, other plugins can conflict with Rank Math. You can use the Health Check plugin to identify any potential conflicts.
If you still cannot find the "Links Per Sitemap" option after checking these points, please reply to this ticket with your site URL so that a human agent from our support team can assist you further.
Thank you for raising this concern!
Hello,
Thank you for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that this issue might have caused.
Please note that some options are only available when you enable the Advanced Mode in Rank Math. If it’s not showing, you must have chosen to use Easy Mode.
You can follow the steps in this link to switch to Advanced Mode: https://rankmath.com/kb/advanced-mode/
