Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math, and sorry for any inconvenience caused.
Can you please follow these steps?
1. Flush the Sitemap cache by following this video screencast:
https://i.rankmath.com/pipRDp
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:
https://rankmath.com/kb/exclude-sitemaps-from-caching/
That should fix the issue. Please let me know if that does not. We are here to assist.
Hi,
The issue still persists.
Hello,
Can you please share the sitemap URL and the web story URL that is not included in the sitemap?
You can also try adding this filter to your website and see if that fixes the issue:
add_filter( 'rank_math/sitemap/enable_caching', '__return_false');
Here is a guide you can follow to add the filter:

Once done, flush the Sitemap cache by following this video screencast and check the sitemap:
https://i.rankmath.com/pipRDp
Hope this helps.
Hi,
Thank you for the support.
I have followed the steps, now if I open the sitemap, url of all web stories is there; link- https://nonstopgovtjobs.com/web-story-sitemap.xml
Although in google search console the number of url submitted in case of web stories is still 16. Sharing few web story url which are not there in search console for reference.

Hello,
The lower number in Discovered URLs in Google Search Console just means that the URLs in the sitemap were already found by Googlebot by other means, instead of via the sitemap.
There is nothing to be worried about as long as the pages are indexed.
Hope this helps.
Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.
