Sitemap Problem

Hello,

We apologize for the issue you are facing with your sitemap. It sounds like there may be a configuration issue that is preventing your posts, pages, categories, and web stories from appearing in the sitemap.

Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot this issue:

1. Ensure Your Posts Are Set to Index: If all your posts are set to noindex, they won’t appear in the sitemap. To check this, go to Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta and ensure that the Index checkbox is enabled for your posts.
   

2. Check Sitemap Settings: Make sure that the Sitemap module is enabled in Rank Math. You can find this under Rank Math SEO → Sitemap Settings. Ensure that the relevant post types (like posts, pages, categories) are selected to be included in the sitemap.

3. Validate Your Sitemap: Use the Validate XML Sitemap tool to check if your sitemap is correctly configured. Enter your sitemap URL (e.g., https://yourdomainname.com/sitemap_index.xml) and click VALIDATE SITEMAP.
   

4. Check for Plugin Conflicts: Sometimes, other plugins can conflict with Rank Math. You can use the Health Check plugin to identify any potential conflicts.

If you’ve gone through these steps and the issue persists, we recommend replying to this ticket with your site URL so that a human agent from our support team can assist you further. Thank you for raising this concern!
