Hi.
The sitemap index does not include the page-sitemap.xml entry (just posts and categories).
https://chapelhillconsulting.co.uk/sitemap_index.xml
The sitemap page for page-sitemap.xml does not include any URLS (there are 6 pages)
https://chapelhillconsulting.co.uk/page-sitemap.xml
I did have the rankmath page index setting set to ‘no follow’ for each page, but have since set that to ‘follow’.
I have switched the page-sitemap setting on and off. I have also flushed the sitemap cache by changing the max link number and saving. I have flushed the permalinks, and flushed the server cache. I have installed the Health Check plugin, enabled troubleshooting mode and then activated Rank Math only – then flushed sitemap cache and flushed permalinks, however the problem is still there.
Please advise. Thanks.

Hello,
Thank you for getting in touch and I am extremely sorry about the trouble this might have caused.
There are a few things you must check for in order to see why the posts aren’t getting indexed.
1. Make sure the pages is not selected as ‘noindex’ in WP > Pages > Your Page(s) > Advanced Tab in Rank Math.
2. Ensure that the noindex is not selected for Global or Pages meta
