    Hi, I’m having trouble with my Rank Math sitemap. I’ve made several changes to my website, including adding new pages and posts, but the sitemap isn’t updating to reflect these changes. I tried clearing the cache and resubmitting it to Google Search Console, but it still shows the old version.bubble tea maps

    Is there a way to force an update, or could something be blocking the sitemap from refreshing? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

    Hello,

    We apologize for the issue you are facing with your Rank Math sitemap not updating. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:

    1. Flush the Sitemap Cache: Navigate to Rank Math SEO → Sitemap Settings. Increase the value of the Links Per Sitemap by one and save your settings. This action can help refresh the sitemap cache.

    3. Check for Caching Plugins: Ensure that your sitemap is not being cached by any caching plugins. You can refer to this article on how to exclude sitemaps from caching.

    4. Validate Your Sitemap: Use the Validate XML Sitemap tool to check if your sitemap is correctly configured. If there are issues, it will provide feedback on what needs to be fixed.

    Hello,

    Can you please confirm if the sitemap on your GSC account is not up to date?

    If so, please note that Google can take some time to recrawl your sitemaps. You can monitor the “Last read/crawl date” column in the sitemap index, as it will update the date when Google crawls your sitemap.

    Let us know how it goes. Looking forward to helping you.

    Thank you.
