Hello,
I’m sorry to hear that you’re experiencing issues with your sitemap. To address this problem, you can follow these steps:
-
Validate Your Sitemap: You can use the Validate XML Sitemap tool to confirm that your sitemap is correctly configured. Once done, click VALIDATE SITEMAP to ensure there are no issues detected.
-
Ensure the Sitemap is Located in the Root Folder: If you manually created the sitemap, make sure it is installed in the root folder of your WordPress installation. The correct path should look like this: `https://www.xml-sitemaps.com/validate-xml-sitemap.html
-
Ensure Your Posts Are Set to Index: Check if your posts are set to index by heading over to Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta and enabling the Index checkbox in the Robots Meta settings.
If you’ve already tried these steps and are still facing issues, please let us know so we can further assist you. Thank you for bringing this to our attention!

Hello,
Please make sure that you have deleted the page with the URL of https://digitalmarketingnepal.net/seo-misconceptions-to-avoid-in-2022/ or you can mark it as noindex in the robots meta tag. After that, Rank Math will then remove that URL from your sitemap.
If you have already deleted that page, please follow the steps below:
1. Flush the Sitemap cache by following this video screencast:

2. Exclude the Sitemap files of the Rank Math plugin in your caching plugin. The cache could be via a plugin or from the server. For plugins or Cloudflare, please follow this article:

3. Apply the following filter code to your site.
add_filter( 'rank_math/sitemap/enable_caching', '__return_false');
