sitemap on new slug

Hello,

We apologize for the issue you are facing with the sitemap showing the old slug. It seems like you’ve already taken several steps to resolve this, which is great. Here are a few additional suggestions that might help:

1. Check for Custom Canonicals: If you have set a custom canonical URL for the post type, it may not appear in the sitemap. Ensure that there are no custom canonicals set for your new slug.

2. Verify Robots.txt: Make sure that your robots.txt file is not blocking the new slug or the sitemap. You can check this in Rank Math SEO → General Settings → robots.txt.

3. Disable Transient Caching: If you haven’t already, try adding the following filter to your theme’s rank-math.php file to disable transient caching of your sitemap:

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

4. Recheck Sitemap Settings: Go to Rank Math SEO → Sitemap Settings and ensure that the new custom post type is included in the sitemap settings.

5. Submit the Correct Sitemap to Google: Make sure you are submitting the correct sitemap URL to Google Search Console, which should be something like `https://rankmath.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Flush-Permalinks-Settings.jpg.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will take over and assist you further. Thank you for your patience!
