Sitemap particular posts & pages exclusion – Help page is not accurate

#1112023
  • Greetings!

    I am trying to find a way to exclude particular links of posts and pages from the sitemap with Rank Math. However, when I open the plugin and look at the instructions of the link here “https://rankmath.com/kb/exclude-content-from-sitemap/”, my screen view is different and missing fields and functions from what is included in the instructions. When I go to Rank Math > Sitemap settings > General, then I see only 2 toggle buttons “Images in sitemaps”, “Include Featured images” and the sitemap link.

    Is there a particular way to exclude links of pages and posts from the sitemap in the free version of Rank Math.

    Kind regards,
    Pavlos Kaliakoudis

  • Hello,

    We apologize for the issue you are facing with excluding particular posts and pages from your sitemap in Rank Math. It seems like you might be experiencing a difference in the interface or functionality available in the free version of the plugin.

    In the free version of Rank Math, the ability to exclude specific posts and pages from the sitemap is indeed limited. However, you can still exclude specific posts or pages by entering their IDs in the Exclude Posts field under Rank Math SEO → Sitemap Settings → General. If this option is not visible to you, it may be due to the limitations of the free version.

    To find the ID of a post or page, you can open the post in the WordPress editor and check the URL. The ID will be indicated in the URL as post=1, where 1 is the ID number.

    If you are looking for more advanced features, including comprehensive control over your sitemap settings, we recommend considering the PRO version of Rank Math. Additionally, our team offers a professional setup service that can help ensure your plugin is configured correctly according to the latest SEO standards. You can find more information about this service at Rank Math Services.
