Sitemap is not showing on my website

#1100714
  • I am using RankMath on my website burgerking-breakfast-menu.com, but I am facing a problem with the sitemap. When I try to access the sitemap by going to burgerking-breakfast-menu.com/sitemap, it does not show anything. I am not sure what is causing this issue, and I have checked a few times but still the sitemap is not appearing.

    This is a new website, and I want to make sure the sitemap works properly so search engines can index my site. Can you please guide me on how I can fix this issue or if there is something I need to enable in the RankMath settings?

    Thank you for your support and guidance.

  • Hello,

    We apologize for the issue you are facing with the sitemap on your website. Since you mentioned that the sitemap is not showing when you access it, there are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve this issue:

    1. Flush Permalinks: Sometimes, simply flushing the permalinks can resolve sitemap issues. To do this, go to your WordPress admin area, navigate to Settings → Permalinks, and click the “Save Changes” button without making any changes. This can refresh the permalink structure and may fix the sitemap issue.

    2. Check for Plugin Conflicts: There might be a conflict with another plugin. You can use the Health Check plugin to identify if any other plugins are causing issues with Rank Math.

    3. Check Sitemap Settings: Ensure that the Sitemap module is enabled in Rank Math. You can check this by going to Rank Math SEO → Sitemap Settings and confirming that all necessary post types are included in the sitemap.

    4. Access the Sitemap Directly: Try accessing your sitemap directly via this URL: `https://rankmath.com/?sitemap=1. This is the standard URL for Rank Math sitemaps. If this URL works, it indicates that the sitemap is being generated correctly.

    5. Check for Caching Issues: If you have a caching plugin installed, it might be serving an old version of your site. Make sure to clear your cache and check if that resolves the issue.

    If after trying these steps the sitemap still does not appear, we recommend replying to this ticket so a human agent from our support team can assist you further. They will be able to provide more detailed help based on your specific setup.

    Thank you for raising this concern, and we hope to get your sitemap working properly soon!
