    Hello, I’m still searching for the issue behind my sitemap issues from the last ticket.
    Now I’ve been looking at the specific fields for the post type concerned. The issue affects only the post type “Listings” under the MyListing theme.

    I’m puzzled as to why a majority of posts are not even included in the sitemap despite being set to “index”.

    Could you tell me please, which custom fields exactly cause a post to be included or excluded in a sitemap? And what must they contain?

    I’ve noticed some fields where the content seems to differ in my posts, could any of these be triggering a problem/exclusion?:
    rank_math_permalink
    rank_math_primary_job_listing_category
    rank_math_snippet_jobposting_unpublish
    any others?

    Thanks in advance,
    Cheryl

    FIXED! Rank Math Sitemap only shows the posts which are marked as index and whose canonical URL matches with the post URL. Also check for http vs. https in the canonical! > That did the trick!

    Hello,

    Rank Math Sitemap only shows the posts which are marked as index and whose canonical URL matches with the post URL. On your site, the Canonical URL of the posts which Sitemap is not showing has http and your site is on https

    Is there any reason why you are adding HTTP in canonical?

    I hope that helps.

    Hey Pratik!

    Thank you sooo much!!! That was just the exact detail I was missing!! I thought there must be something on the posts that was triggering an exclude from sitemaps, but couldn’t figure out what it was. The canonical! Thanks for this info! You made my day 🙂

    By the way, I have no idea why the canonicals are http… I’m sure they didn’t use to be… something must have gone wrong during a server move or new installation or import or something… Thanks so much for pointing it out!

    All the best,
    Cheryl
