    I have according to various solutions have flushed my permalinks, but the issue gets solved for a limited time, and then it appears again.

    I have done it recently and it is working fine, but I am very sure that it will last for some days only.

    Please help!

  • Please take the issue into consideration. Is there any htacess error ?

    Hello,

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

    Can you please follow these steps?
    1. Flush the Sitemap cache by following this video screencast:
    https://i.rankmath.com/pipRDp

    2. Exclude the Sitemap files of the Rank Math plugin in your caching plugin. The cache could be via a plugin or from the server. For plugins or Cloudflare, please follow this article:
    https://rankmath.com/kb/exclude-sitemaps-from-caching/

    If the issue still reappears, then we might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress & FTP 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:

    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.

    Well, I have removed the sitemaps from Caching Plugins and it is working fine, but let us wait for few days to see the result.

    Just one more problem here that my Post Tag sitemap is always showing a 404 error from the beginning of installing the plugin, even I have enough tags created on my blog.

    Can you please solve this ?

    Hello,

    Please check to ensure you have not set your tags to noindex :

    :: Rank math > Titles & Meta > Tags
    and
    :: WordPress Dashboard > Posts > Tags > Your tag under the Advanced Tab

    If your tags are not assigned to any posts, please ensure to enable the option to include empty terms in Rank math > Sitemap Settings

    If all the above doesn’t help, then please include your access as shown in my previous reply so we can look into t further.

    Looking forward to helping you.

    Thanks my Tags were set to no Index, now the problem solved of tags and my sitemaps are also showing well and updated without 404 error!

    Thank you, buddy !
