    The problem has been present for several weeks and is not resolved.
    The xml sitemap of the site at [domain.com]/product_cat-sitemap.xml does not change the date of the page change (Last Mod.). I even tried to change content, metadata, and more but it doesn’t change.

    The caching plugin is WP Rocket, as I have polished in it not to cache the sitemaps of the site and even after clearing the cache the date does not change again.

    All modules have been updated to the last version. Also the wp core has been updated to the last version.

    How does this date change and how can it be changed manually?

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting the support, and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    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/

    If the issue persists, we might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress & FTP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.
    Sensitive Data Section

    It is completely secure and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the below plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead:

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/temporary-login-without-password/

    You can use the above plugin in conjunction with the WP Security Audit Log to monitor what changes our staff might make on your website (if any):

    We really look forward to helping you.

    I cut off access because a few hours after you entered the site, half of its content became in English and when indexing it can seriously harm my SEO.

    Hello,

    We are sorry to hear that.

    I am afraid category pages in WordPress do not maintain modification dates like pages and posts do. When creating a sitemap for these therefore, we usually just pick the data it was created in the sitemap.

    Hope this clears this issue for you.

    Thank you.
