Problem with sitemap

Hello,

We apologize for the issue you are facing with your sitemap. It seems that the incorrect entry for your Spanish homepage in the sitemap is a common issue when using WPML with Rank Math.

To resolve this, you can add a specific piece of code to your theme’s rank-math.php file. This code will help ensure that the correct homepage URLs are generated in the sitemap. Here’s what you can do:

1. Access your theme files via FTP or your hosting file manager.

2. Locate the rank-math.php file in your theme’s directory.

3. Add the following code snippet to that file:

   // Custom code to fix incorrect entries for translated homepages
   add_filter( 'rank_math/sitemap/entry', function( $entry, $post ) {
      if ( $post->post_type === 'page' && $post->post_name === 'home-i' ) {
          $entry['loc'] = home_url( '/es/' ); // Change this to your correct homepage URL
      }
      return $entry;
   }, 10, 2 );

4. Save the changes and check your sitemap again.

If you continue to experience issues, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further. Thank you for raising this concern!
