    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math, and sorry for any inconvenience caused.

    Rank Math automatically adds the Canonical URL if the post/page is set as index.

    But there is an additional canonical present on the homepage:
    homepage

    Please check if any other plugin or theme is adding that to the page.

    I hope that helps. Looking forward to helping you.

    Well, I don’t know of any other plugin could you help me solve that?

    Hello,

    Thank you for getting back.

    You can use this guide to figure out which plugin or theme is adding the other canonical URL.

    Only the site admin would know and your users won’t be affected by this troubleshooting.

    If you are not able to figure out the culprit then 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:

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/temporary-login-without-password/

    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):

    Please do take a complete backup of your website before sharing the information with us.

    We really look forward to helping you.

    Hello,

    I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    Thanks for sharing the details.

    I checked and figured out that the additional canonical URL is being added by your ReHub theme. I checked the theme options and wasn’t able to figure out the option that is adding the canonical URL. Please contact your theme support to get this issue resolved.

    Hope this helps. Let us know if you need any further assistance.

    Hello,

    For the sitemap not updating, it is possible that Google is seeing a cached version of your sitemap.

    Can you please follow these steps?
    1. Flush the Sitemap cache by following this video screencast:

    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/

    Once done, remove all the sitemaps from the search console and add sitemap_index.xml and wait for Google to crawl the sitemap.

    That should fix the issue. Please let me know if that does not. We are here to assist.

    Hello,

    Since we did not hear back from you for 15 days, we are assuming that you found the solution. We are closing this support ticket.

    If you still need assistance or any other help, please feel free to open a new support ticket, and we will be more than happy to assist.

    Thank you.
