    Hello.
    I have 86 pages at website. But sitemap in Search Console in Rank Math shows 71 already within last month.
    Please explain possible reason of such mistake.

    I attached two screenshot for more visuality.

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    Are you using any cache plugin? If yes, which one? You might need to add the following lines as cache exceptions to avoid them being cached:

    /(.*)sitemap(.*).xml
    /(.*)sitemap.xsl

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

    Hello,

    If there are no errors shown in your GSC, please give it sometime and click on refresh sitemaps under Rank math > Search console sitemap tab. Please note that the data provided by Google’s API that we use in the Rank Math plugin is not always accurate or real-time so if the data won’t update still, you can give it sometime or just use GSC tool.

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

    But GSC tool shows same number of pages. And it doesn’t say that I have any errors. That’s why I’m at loss. But maybe my new pages do not index?! How can I check it? Can I check it inside plugin?

    Hello,

    Then 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.
    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):

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-security-audit-log/

    We really look forward to helping you.

    Hello. Have you checked mistakes? I refresh sensitive data for your access.
    Concerning problem I remind:
    Sitemap shows wrong number of pages. I already have 119 and in sitemanp is still 71.
    I know that Ranki Math takes data from Google Search Console.
    But matter is that GSC tool shows same number of pages (71). And it doesn’t say that I have any errors. That’s why I’m at loss. But maybe my new pages do not index?! How can I check it? Can I check it inside plugin?

    Hello Oleg,

    The provided access seems to be limited to only SEO analysis.

    Please elevate the access to Administrator so we can look into this issue without hindrance. You can monitor changes made to your site, if any, using a plugin such as WP-Activity.

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

    Hello,

    I changed your site map settings; Links per Sitemap from 200 to 201 which forced your sitemap to refresh.

    You can test your sitemap in a private browser to confirm this. I also created a test page and it seems to be have been added successfully into the sitemap.

    Please check with your host to ensure they are not caching your sitemap and if not, please resubmit only your main sitemap to the GSC.

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.
