Posts Not Adding into Post Sitemap

Hello,

We apologize for the issue you are facing with your latest blog posts not being added to the post sitemap. Thank you for providing detailed steps you’ve already taken; that helps us understand your situation better.

Here are a few additional steps you can take to troubleshoot this issue:

1. Ensure Posts Are Set to Index: Make sure that your posts are set to index. You can check this by going to Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta and ensuring the Index checkbox is enabled for your posts.
   

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

3. Flush Permalinks: Sometimes, flushing permalinks can resolve issues with sitemaps. Go to Settings → Permalinks and click the “Save Changes” button without making any changes.
   

4. Check Sitemap Settings: Navigate to Rank Math SEO → Sitemap Settings and ensure that all relevant post types are enabled to be included in the sitemap.

5. Validate Your Sitemap: Use the Validate XML Sitemap tool to check if there are any issues with your sitemap configuration.
   

If you’ve tried all these steps and the issue persists, we recommend considering our professional setup service, which can ensure your plugin setup is fully correct and adheres to the latest SEO standards. You can find more information about this service at Rank Math Professional Setup Service.

Please let us know if you need further assistance or if you have any other questions!

3. Remove all your sitemaps from your Google Search Console and re-submit only the index sitemap (https://website.com/sitemap_index.xml)

If the issue persists, we might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress & FTP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.

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

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:

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):
