Sitemap not updating?

Hello,

We apologize for the issue you are facing with your sitemap not updating to include the new location pages. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot this issue:

1. Flush the Sitemap Cache: Sometimes, the sitemap cache needs to be flushed. You can do this by navigating to Rank Math SEO → Sitemap Settings. Increase the value of Links Per Sitemap by one and then save your settings by clicking the Save Changes button at the bottom of the page.
   

2. Check Permalinks: After flushing the cache, navigate to Settings → Permalinks and click Save Changes to ensure the current settings are applied.
   

3. Exclude Sitemap from Caching: Ensure that your sitemap is not being cached by any caching plugins. You can refer to our guide on how to exclude sitemaps from caching for detailed instructions.

4. Check Location Pages Settings: Make sure that the Local SEO module is enabled and that you have correctly set up your location pages. You can find more information on how to create multiple locations in our guide on creating multiple locations.

If you have tried all these steps and the issue persists, please reply to this ticket with your site URL so that a human agent from our support team can assist you further. Thank you for raising this concern!
