Hello,
Thanks for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
I can check that your sitemap is working fine and all the latest posts are already included in it. You can simply ignore that notification and dismiss it by clicking on the I already added button.
And Indexed not Submitted in sitemap is not an issue, it only means that Google has already indexed the posts/pages but not through the sitemap.
It is possible that Google is crawling and indexing the post through the internal links on your website and not through the sitemap, and as a result, the crawl budget for your website is exhausted and Google is not able to discover the URLs through your sitemap.
As long as the posts/pages are getting crawled and indexed, there’s nothing to be worried about.
Hope this helps.
Thank you.
But due to this for last 7-8 days i don’t see any post i written in serp and search console also showing that last article i posted was 7 days ago but regularly i am posting 2-4 posts.its not even showing data for that posts published in last 7 days.

Hello,
I can check that your latest post is already indexed in search results:
Can you please share the URL of the post that is not being indexed?
Looking forward to helping you.
Thanks.

in search console its showing indexed not submitted in sitemaps also these are also not ranking in google seep on any position.this is happening with all my posts
Hello,
Both URLs you shared are already indexed and are properly getting displayed in the search results.
Indexed, Not Submitted in Sitemap is not an issue, it only means that Google has already indexed the posts/pages but not through the sitemap. This has already been suggested by my colleague above.
Please 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, clear the website cache and resubmit sitemap_index.xml and wait for Google to crawl the sitemap.
I checked your robots.txt file, please edit the robots.txt file and enter the sitemap in a new line. Your robots.txt file should look like this:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /wp-admin/
Allow: /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php
Sitemap: https://www.swogas.com/sitemap_index.xml
Here is a guide for your reference:

I hope this helps. Looking forward to helping you.
I have done all the steps you advised with the help of a developer but some posts are still showing indexed not submitted in sitemaps.i am replying after waiting for google bot to crawl my website.what would you suggest next.Robots.txt file was missing in my nginx.conf file this is added now.posts are getting into sitemaps as soon as I update posts but google console Shows post indexed but not submitted to sitemaps.Also my posts indexing and ranking is also very slow from 10 days.Is this the Plugin issue or bug.
Hello,
The crawling of the website doesn’t depend on the plugins you have but rather on the crawl budget that Google assigns to your website.
You already indicated that the sitemaps are updating as soon as the new posts are published so our plugin is generating the sitemap correctly but Google still needs time to crawl the entire website and those errors might take some time to disappear because the bots need time to get to the URLs in question.
Technically speaking we don’t see anything wrong with the website that could cause issues, so you need to be patient while the bots crawl the website entirely and find the posts being indexed and in sitemap to clear those errors.
Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.
Ok thanks for your reply.you guys are awesome at helping.keep up the good work.i will wait for atleast 2-3 days for google bots to recrawl my pages.I see a very high numbers of pqges being excluded in gsc what may be the reason
Hello,
Let us know how that goes.
Please click on the URLs in the excluded sections and you will be able to see the reason for exclusion.
Looking forward to your update.
Thank you.
Hello,
If the category page is appearing on the first result this just means that Google thinks that is better optimized for the given search term.
You would need to improve the optimization of your posts and try to build some backlinks to them to rank higher than the category pages for that search term.
Please note that this doesn’t happen overnight and can’t be tackled with a single setting change.
