Hello,
I apologize for the issue you are facing with the missing exclude area for pages and posts. Thank you for raising this concern.
To assist you better, could you please reply to this ticket and include the URL of your site? This will help us understand the technical issue more clearly.
In the meantime, you can check the settings under the Sitemaps section in Rank Math to ensure everything is configured correctly. If the problem persists, a human agent from our support team will be able to assist you further once you provide the necessary details.
Thank you for your understanding!
Hello,
Since your templates are actual pages, please make sure to get their post IDs and exclude them in the Sitemap Settings:

You can also remove them all at once using this filter code:
add_filter( 'rank_math/sitemap/entry', function( $url, $type, $object ){
if (strpos($url['loc'], '/portfolio/')) {
$url = false;
}
return $url;
}, 10, 3 );
You may refer to this guide on how to add filters to your website: https://rankmath.com/kb/wordpress-hooks-actions-filters/
Hope that helps.
Please look at the loom again. Those options are not on my version and it’s updated. My other site has it but this one does not.
I mentioned that it was gone for some reason. I don’t have the following:
Links Per Sitemap
Exclude Posts
Exclude Terms
The only thing on the page is
Include In Sitemap
Include In HTML Sitemap
Hello,
Unfortunately, we are not able to see your Rank Math Sitemap settings in the screencast. You can recheck and confirm that.
However, please note that some options are only available in Advance Mode. If you are not able to find all the options in Sitemap Settings, please try to switch to Advance Mode: https://rankmath.com/kb/switch-from-easy-to-advanced-mode/
Let us know how it goes. Looking forward to helping you.
Thank you.
That’s 100% what is was. Thanks you!!
