my sitemap url is not updating

Hello, I’m sorry to hear that you’re facing issues with your sitemap not updating correctly. It sounds like you’ve already tried several troubleshooting steps from the support article, which is great. Here are a few additional things you can check:

1. Ensure Your Posts Are Set to Index: If any of your posts are set to ‘noindex’, they won’t appear in the sitemap. You can check this by going to Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta and ensuring that the Index checkbox is enabled for your posts.

   

2. Flush Permalinks: Sometimes, simply saving the permalinks can resolve issues. Go to Settings → Permalinks in your WordPress dashboard and click Save Changes without making any changes.

3. Check for Plugin Conflicts: Use the Health Check plugin to see if there are any conflicts with other plugins that might be affecting the sitemap.

4. Clear Cache: If you have a caching plugin installed, clear your website cache and try accessing the sitemap again.

5. Custom Canonicals: If you have set custom canonical URLs for any posts, those posts may not appear in the sitemap. Consider removing custom canonicals to see if that resolves the issue.

If you’ve gone through these steps and the issue persists, 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!
