    Hello there
    I have had this issue ever since I installed the plugin. for some reason when i update a product with new image or images the URL in the sitemap does not reflect the change.

    for example here is a page that I just updated with images and description.
    https://prnt.sc/nayizocZuwkV

    the URL to that page is https://kratomgala.com/product/sembuh-red-bali-kratom-capsules/

    you can clearly see that is showing 0 for image and the date of last modified is 2024-05-21 06:24 +00:00 which is wrong. it suppose to be 06/05/2024

    sometimes the pages do not even get created.

    in the past I was told to go in the setting and change the quantity of the URLs in each sitemap page to 201 from 200 and save changes and then go to premalinks and just save. even though this method works, I just do not like it since its always changing the location of the URLs in the sitemap pages and I just dont see a reason to do this honestly

    can you guys take a look and see

    btw I had all the URLs added to the exclusion list on my server side caching

    Hello,

    I apologize for the inconvenience you are facing with your sitemap not updating when a product page has been updated. It seems like the changes you make to your product pages are not reflecting in the sitemap generated by Rank Math.

    To address this issue, there are a few steps you can take:

    1. Check Sitemap Exclusions: Ensure that the URL of the updated product page is not excluded from the sitemap settings in Rank Math. Sometimes, specific URLs can be excluded from the sitemap accidentally. You can review and adjust these settings under Rank Math SEO → Sitemap Settings.

    2. Clear Cache: Since you mentioned having all URLs added to the exclusion list on your server-side caching, make sure that the cache is cleared after making updates to your product pages. This will help ensure that the latest version of your pages is served to visitors and search engines.

    3. Flush Permalinks: If the changes are still not reflected in the sitemap, you can try flushing the permalinks by going to the Permalinks page in your WordPress dashboard and clicking on Save Changes. This action can sometimes trigger the sitemap to update.

    If after following these steps, the issue persists, please provide more details or screenshots if possible so we can further investigate and assist you effectively.

    Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we appreciate your patience as we work to resolve this issue for you.

    Best regards.
