    Rank Math free

    Hello,
    I really love RankMath SEO plugin for WordPress, however for the last about 6-7 weeks, I have noticed that my blog posts are not included in the sitemap.
    If I update the sitemap manually, the blog posts are picked up but when I leave it, the plugin doesn’t pick them up and it only picks my website pages.
    I have checked your post about plugin conflicts and I don’t have any of these plugins installed.
    I really appreciate any advice about how I can approach the situation and resolve this issue.
    Thank you

    Hello,

    We apologize for the issue you are facing with your blog posts not being included in the sitemap. Thank you for raising this concern.

    Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:

    1. Check Sitemap Settings: Ensure that your blog posts are set to be included in the sitemap. You can do this by navigating to Rank Math SEO → Sitemap Settings and verifying that the option for posts is enabled.

    2. Flush Permalinks: Sometimes, flushing permalinks can help resolve issues with the sitemap. To do this, go to Settings → Permalinks in your WordPress admin area and click the “Save Changes” button, even if you don’t make any changes.

    3. Check for Custom Canonicals: If you have set custom canonical URLs for your posts, they may not appear in the sitemap. Rank Math includes a self-referencing canonical by default, so consider removing any custom canonicals if you want all posts to show up in the sitemap.

    4. Content Availability: Ensure that your posts have content. If there are no contents or if all posts/pages are blocked from appearing in the sitemap, they will not be included.

    5. Cache Issues: If you have caching enabled on your site, it might interfere with the sitemap functionality. Try clearing your cache or temporarily disabling caching to see if that resolves the issue.

    If these steps do not resolve the problem, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will take over and assist you further.

    Thank you for your patience, and we hope to help you get this sorted out soon!
