Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with your sitemap not updating. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot this problem:
-
Check for Custom Canonicals: If you have added custom canonical URLs to your posts, they may not appear in the sitemap. Ensure that you remove any custom canonicals so that Rank Math can generate the correct ones.
-
Flush Permalinks: Sometimes, flushing permalinks can resolve issues with sitemaps. You can do this by going to Settings → Permalinks in your WordPress dashboard and simply clicking Save Changes without making any modifications.
-
Check Sitemap Settings: Ensure that the sitemap module is enabled in Rank Math. You can check this by going to Rank Math → Sitemap Settings.
-
Plugin Conflicts: There might be a conflict with another plugin. You can use the Health Check plugin to identify any potential conflicts.
-
Server Resources: If your server resources are limited, it might affect the sitemap generation. Check your server settings under Tools → Site Health → Info and ensure that your PHP settings meet the recommended values.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, we recommend replying 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!
