    Hello,

    My sitemap: kicover.com/sitemap.xml is including this url: MOVED TO SENSITIVE DATA SECTION
    If you check this page, you will see the tag NOINDEX. Why is the sitemap taking into account this irrelevant url?

    Thanks.

    Hello,

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

    Did you set the no-index tag using Rank Math or another plugin?

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

    I used the noindex tag set by the rank math plugin. You can see the page source and will see that the no-index tag is set correctly.

    I would like to know how to update the sitemap correctly because it is adding irrelevant urls and google is indexing them…

    Thanks

    Hello,

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

    Could you please excude your sitemap URLs from being cached on your site and clear all cache then do the following:

    1. Head over to WordPress Dashboard > Settings > Permalinks

    Hit the save button once.

    2. Go to WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > Sitemap Settings

    Hit the save button once.

    That should fix the issue.

    If it doesn’t, we might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.
    Sensitive Data Section

    It is completely secure and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the below plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead:

    You can use the above plugin in conjunction with the WP Security Audit Log to monitor what changes our staff might make on your website (if any):

    We really look forward to helping you.
