My sitemap isn’t showing latest posts

Hello,

We apologize for the issue you are facing with your sitemap not showing the latest posts. Since you run a news website, it’s crucial that your news sitemap is updated correctly to reflect your most recent content.

Here are a few things you can check:

1. Ensure the News Sitemap Module is Enabled: Go to Rank Math SEO → Dashboard → News Sitemap and make sure the module is enabled. You need to have the Sitemap module activated first before enabling the News Sitemap module.
   

2. Check Post Publication Dates: Remember that only posts published in the last 2 days will appear in the news sitemap as per Google’s News Sitemap Guidelines. If your latest posts are older than that, they won’t show up.

3. Sitemap Configuration: Ensure that your news sitemap settings are configured correctly under Rank Math SEO → Sitemap Settings → News Sitemap. Make sure you have selected the correct post types and that there are no exclusions set that might prevent your latest posts from appearing.
   

4. Check for Caching Issues: Sometimes caching plugins can prevent the latest updates from appearing. Clear any cache on your site and check again.

If you’ve checked all of these and the issue persists, please reply to this ticket with your website URL so we can assist you further. A human agent from our support team will take over and help resolve this issue.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention!
