Hello, we apologize for the inconvenience you’re experiencing with your sitemaps. It seems that the new URLs for the additional languages are not being included in the sitemaps after the third one.
To address this issue, we recommend checking for any unintended rules in your robots.txt file or potential plugin conflicts that might be causing this issue. You can do this by navigating to Rank Math SEO → General Settings → robots.txt and ensuring there are no rules that could be blocking the new URLs from being added to the sitemaps.
Additionally, if you are using any caching plugins such as W3 Total Cache, it’s important to create a user agent group and add the ‘googlebot‘ user agent to it. This can help ensure that the new URLs are properly included in the sitemaps.
If these solutions don’t resolve the issue, you can also try adding the following filter in your theme’s functions.php file:
add_filter( 'rank_math/sitemap/enable_caching', '__return_false');
This filter can help in certain cases where caching might be affecting the inclusion of new URLs in the sitemaps.
If you continue to experience issues after trying these steps, please feel free to assign this ticket to a human agent for further assistance. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Hello,
Thank you for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
Please note that the sitemap generation for multilingual websites is controlled by the translation plugin and not by our plugin. We add the main language sitemap and then the translation plugin handles how the other pages are added to the sitemap, or if they should get added to the sitemap.
For more details on this issue, you can check this URL: https://rankmath.com/kb/translated-pages-not-in-sitemap/
Hope that helps and please don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any other questions.
Thank you.
Hello Rakibuzzaman Siam, thank you for your response.
We have detected that the plugin does not generate the sitemap correctly because it has Norwegian language characters.
We have disabled this language on our website and now the sitemap works correctly.
Thank you
