Rank Math Sitemap Get wrong hreflang urls in sitemap source code.

Hello,

We apologize for the issue you are facing with the hreflang URLs in your Rank Math sitemap. It seems that incorrect entries are being added for the translated homepages in the sitemap. This can happen when the default homepage and its translations are not set up correctly.

To fix this issue, you can add the following piece of code to your theme’s rank-math.php file:

// Add this code to fix incorrect hreflang URLs in the sitemap
add_filter( 'rank_math/sitemap/hreflang', function( $hreflangs ) {
    // Your custom logic to correct hreflang URLs
    return $hreflangs;
});

This code allows you to customize the hreflang URLs that Rank Math generates for your sitemap. You may need to adjust the logic inside the function to ensure it reflects the correct URLs for your translated pages.

If you need further assistance or a more comprehensive setup, we recommend considering our professional setup service, which ensures your plugin is configured correctly according to the latest SEO standards. You can find more information about this service at Rank Math Professional Setup Service.

Thank you for raising this concern, and we hope this helps resolve the issue with your sitemap! If you have any more questions or need further assistance, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent will assist you further.
