    Since I built my site, i have changed about 30 url’s. This is many months ago.
    These changes are not being reflected in my sitemaps.

    How can I edit/update my sitemap to show the correct url’s

    Thanks

    Not sure I understand. These are not ‘new’ posts. They are the same post with a new url ( the old url redirected to the new url ) so I can not noindex the post or delete it.

    I tried add the old url to noindex on robots.txt file, but the SEMrush audit still showed them and marked them as critical errors.

    So what can I do?

    Hi,

    Of course, you can delete them if the URLs are redirected.

    They serve no purpose being live posts. Even if you delete the post or draft them – the redirects will still run and everything will be fine.

    You can test this with a couple of URLs if you like.

    Or you can add each post’s ID to the exclusion list from WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > Sitemaps Settings > Global:

    Although, it is not needed and it is a tedious process for so many posts.

    Hope that helps.
