    Hi

    I’ve been experiencing persistent issues with my sitemap not updating correctly in Rank Math. Despite regenerating the sitemap multiple times, the changes I make to my posts are not being reflected. This is concerning as it may negatively impact my site’s indexing and visibility on search engines. The pages are not getting & I am constantly getting crawled, currently not indexed & new pages are not adding up in rank math.

    I would appreciate any guidance or troubleshooting steps to resolve this issue.

    My website is https://gepcoonlinebill.com.pk/

    Thank you!

    Hello,

    We apologize for the issue you are facing with your sitemap not updating correctly in Rank Math. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can follow to resolve this issue:

    1. Flush Permalinks: Sometimes, flushing permalinks can help. Go to your WordPress admin area, navigate to Settings → Permalinks, and hit the “Save Changes” button without making any changes. This can refresh the permalink structure and may resolve the sitemap issue.

    2. Check Post Settings: Ensure that your posts are set to index. Go to Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta and check the Robots Meta settings. Make sure the Index checkbox is enabled for your posts.

    3. Validate Your Sitemap: Use a sitemap validation tool to check if your sitemap is correctly configured. You can use the Validate XML Sitemap tool for this purpose.

    4. Check for Plugin Conflicts: Sometimes, other plugins can interfere with Rank Math’s functionality. You can use the Health Check plugin to identify any potential conflicts.

    5. Caching Issues: If you have caching enabled on your site, it might be serving an outdated version of your sitemap. Clear your cache and check if that resolves the issue.

    6. Custom Canonicals: If you have set custom canonical URLs for your posts, they may not appear in the sitemap. Consider removing custom canonicals to ensure all posts are included in the sitemap.

    If you have tried these steps and the issue persists, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further.

    Thank you for raising this concern!

    Hello,

    We checked your sitemap and looks like it is already up to date. However, if you face the issue again, please try to follow the steps below to clear your sitemap cache:

    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 to your site to disable the transients cache for sitemap.

    add_filter( 'rank_math/sitemap/enable_caching', '__return_false');

    Here’s how you can add filter/hook to your WordPress site:
