Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with your sitemap. If a page is missing from your sitemap, there are a few common reasons this might happen:
- Content Issues: Ensure that the page has content. If the page is empty, it may not be included in the sitemap.
- Sitemap Settings: Check if the page type is set to be included in the sitemap. You can do this by navigating to Rank Math SEO → Sitemap Settings and ensuring that the relevant post types or taxonomies are not blocked.
- Permalinks: Sometimes, flushing permalinks can resolve issues with sitemap generation. You can do this by going to Settings → Permalinks in your WordPress admin area and clicking “Save Changes” without making any changes.
- Plugin Conflicts: There might be a conflict with another plugin. You can use the Health Check plugin to troubleshoot this.
- Cache Issues: Ensure that any caching plugins are disabled while you are troubleshooting this issue, as they might interfere with the sitemap functionality.
If you have checked these points and the issue persists, please reply to this ticket with any additional details or errors you might be encountering, and a human agent from our support team will assist you further.
Thank you for raising this concern!
