Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with your Rank Math sitemap not showing all your published posts. Here are some steps you can follow to troubleshoot and resolve this issue:
-
Ensure Your Posts Are Set to Index: If your posts are set to noindex, they won’t appear in the sitemap. To check this, go to Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta and ensure that the Index checkbox is enabled for your posts.

-
Check Sitemap Settings: Navigate to Rank Math SEO → Sitemap Settings and ensure that the post types you want to include in the sitemap are checked.
-
Flush Permalinks: Sometimes, flushing permalinks can resolve issues with the sitemap. Go to Settings → Permalinks in your WordPress admin area and click the “Save Changes” button without making any changes.

-
Validate Your Sitemap: Use the Validate XML Sitemap tool to check if your sitemap is correctly configured. Enter your sitemap URL and click VALIDATE SITEMAP.

-
Check for Plugin Conflicts: Sometimes, other plugins can conflict with Rank Math. You can use the Health Check plugin to identify any conflicts.
If you have followed these steps and are still experiencing issues, we recommend considering our professional setup service for a comprehensive review of your settings. You can find more information about this service at Rank Math Services. This service requires a PRO subscription, ensuring your plugin setup is fully correct and adheres to the latest SEO standards.

Hi Team,
I’m currently using Rank Math and have created a sitemap, but it doesn’t include all my published posts, and Google Search Console is unable to fetch it. Only 12 posts are showed in sitemap. For now, I’m using another plugin which works fine (example: https://criptz.com/wp-sitemap.xml
). However, I’d prefer to stick with Rank Math. Could you please guide me on how to resolve this issue?
