    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    Can you please follow these steps?
    1. Flush the Sitemap cache by following this video screencast:

    2. Exclude the Sitemap files of the Rank Math plugin in your caching plugin. The cache could be via a plugin or from the server. For plugins or Cloudflare, please follow this article:
    https://rankmath.com/kb/exclude-sitemaps-from-caching/

    That should fix the issue. Please let me know if that does not. We are here to assist.

    Hello,

    The steps I shared should ensure your sitemap is updated regularly whenever a new post/page is published on your site.

    If you however no longer wish to use Rank math sitemaps, you can disable this module in Rank math dashboard.

    Hope this helps you. Thank you

    Sry to say but after doing the process you have mentioned here, post was updated on that day but again when i checked yesterday it was showing updated today but when i caheck for the latest url then those were not update, so i have flush sitemap again then it was updated.

    I have tried to disable the rank math site map but after that when i checked for sitemap then it shows 404 page. no default sitemap showing.

    Hello,

    If the sitemap updates only after flushing, it simply means your sitemap is still being cached. If you check your sitemap, it is cached by W3 Total Cache, here is a screenshot: https://i.rankmath.com/2tqqRn

    WordPress sitemaps are usually found by going to yourdomain/sitemap.xml.

    Hope this helps
