After manual run in wp control. The following error message is showing ” The cron event rank_math/content-ai/update_plan could not be found.”
Hello,
Thank you for your query and we are so sorry about the trouble this must have caused.
The cron jobs you mentioned are normal background tasks run by Rank Math to manage redirects, internal links, and Content AI features. The message about rank_math/content-ai/update_plan not being found simply means it’s not currently scheduled — that’s expected unless a credit refresh is due. This won’t affect your sitemap or SEO.
If your sitemap appears unreadable in Search Console, please try opening it directly in your browser to check for errors and ensure there are no caching or security plugins blocking it.
You can follow the following steps:
1. Flush the Sitemap cache by following this video screencast:

2. Exclude the Sitemap files of the Rank Math plugin in your caching plugin. The cache could be via a plugin or from the server. For plugins or Cloudflare, please follow this article:

3. Apply the following filter code to your site.
add_filter( 'rank_math/sitemap/enable_caching', '__return_false');
Here’s how you can add filter to your WordPress site:https://rankmath.com/kb/wordpress-hooks-actions-filters/
4. Remove all your sitemaps from your Google Search Console and re-submit only the index sitemap (https://website.com/sitemap_index.xml)
Let us know how that goes. Looking forward to helping you.
