  • Hello,

    I apologize for the issue you are facing with your pages not appearing in the sitemap. Since you’ve already submitted the page for instant indexing and added the recommended NGINX server code, let’s explore a few more potential solutions:

    1. Check Robots.txt: Ensure that your robots.txt file is not blocking the page from being indexed. You can check this by going to Rank Math SEO → General Settings → robots.txt.

    2. Custom Canonicals: If you have set custom canonical URLs for your posts, they may not appear in the sitemap. Make sure to remove any custom canonicals if you want them to be included in the sitemap.

    3. Plugin Conflicts: Sometimes, other plugins can conflict with Rank Math. You can use the Health Check plugin to identify any potential conflicts.

    4. Sitemap Settings: Double-check your sitemap settings in Rank Math to ensure that the specific post type is enabled to be included in the sitemap. You can find this under Rank Math SEO → Sitemap Settings.

    5. Caching Issues: Since you mentioned clearing caches, ensure that there are no server-side caching mechanisms (like Kinsta’s caching) that might be serving an outdated version of your sitemap.

    If these steps do not resolve the issue, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from our support team will assist you further. Thank you for your patience!

    I’ve done all the checklist already. Still no new pages are adding to the sitemap, and instant indexing is also not working.

    That is not going to work for me. My company is blocking access that url.

    Hello,

    Thanks for contacting Rank Math support. We apologise for any inconvenience this might have caused you.

    Please elaborate on the issue with the Instant Indexing so we can understand and provide a solution.

    Meanwhile, we checked the URL you shared and we can see that the page is included in the page sitemap: https://www.alliantgroup.com/page-sitemap1.xml

    However, if the issue persists and other URLs are not included in the sitemap, please follow the steps below to see if that works for you.

    #1. Flush the Sitemap cache by following this video screencast:

    #2. Exclude the Sitemap files of the Rank Math plugin from caching. The cache could be via a plugin or from the server. For plugins or Cloudflare, please follow this article:

    #3. If the above steps doesn’t seem to work, kindly apply the following filter code to your site.

    add_filter( 'rank_math/sitemap/enable_caching', '__return_false');
    

    Here’s how you can add filter/hook to your WordPress site:

    Once done, please clear your website cache including server-side cache, and check the sitemap again.

    Let us know how it goes. We look forward to hearing from you.

    Thank you.
