You can use both the plugin just you need to off the settings of Sitemap in Rank Math and install another sitemap plugin
Which sitemap plugin are you using?

Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
We might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.
It is completely secure and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the below plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/temporary-login-without-password/
You can use the above plugin in conjunction with the WP Security Audit Log to monitor what changes our staff might make on your website (if any):

We really look forward to helping you.
Hello,
I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?
Thank you.
Hello, I’ve added the temporary login in the sensitive data field, please check for the cause and fix it.
Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
It seems your site was caching your sitemap. I cleared your site cache and re-enabled you post sitemap and it seems to be updating fine. Please check the attached screencast in the sensitive section.
Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.
Hello, I don’t know if it works. I created a new dummy post right now, disabled the sitemap module, cleared the cache and then re-enabled the sitemap module of Rank Math. But it is not reflecting this dummy post.
Does the Rank math sitemap not updates instantly? If yes then please configure it in such a way that I will get instant updates.
Hello,
Since Google doesn’t check sitemaps instantly (it just checks them every few hours usually), Rank Math has its own built-in caching system (that is why we had to exclude the sitemaps from your cache plugin, to avoid caching conflicts).
That is why you don’t see instant updates in your sitemaps, it would use too many resources for little to non benefit (since sitemaps are only intended to be seen by search engines, and as we explained before, it happens just every few hours).
So, you can’t set it to Rank Math sitemaps to update instantly, it will take some time (not a lot), just until next Cron Job.
Anyway, you can force Rank math to update them instantly by going to WordPress Dashboard > Settings > Permalinks and clicking the Save button. It will regenerate your sitemaps and you should see instantly any changes there.
Looking forward to help you.
I’ve tried re-saving permalinks but it doesn’t add the new post URL to sitemap. Also, it’s been over 24 hrs for my dummy post but Rank Math still haven’t added the post to sitemap. What is “few hours” here?
Is my corn job is failing or somehow inaccessible to rank math plugin that’s why its not updating itself? Please check that too.
HI,
Just open WordPress in different browsers. I was facing same issues, the sitemap was not updating from 9th June. But I open sitemap in Mozzila it showing updated XML.

Hi Dhiraj,
Sorry, it’s not working for me either. It doesn’t feel like a cache-related problem. I’ve tried different browsers as well as devices. No Luck.
Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.
Please check the new screencast I have attached. I deactivated the post sitemap,but it still shows from the cache. On enabling it again and clearing the cache, the sitemap is updated.
Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.
