Pages Sitemap XML only generates a fraction of the pages

    We have 2000+ pages in our site. Most of them are no-index.
    The sitemap needs to be Yoast as nothing else picks up the no-index flags.
    For some reason the xml stops at 29 entries. There should be at least 200 and there were up to the last couple of updates.

    Not only is this REALLY slow (A workaround has been found for this, currently turned off).

    Manually including all posts (including no-index) shows more of the pages coming through, but increasing the number of pages shown doesn’t bring back any more results.

    Big fan of Yoast and this has been perfectly well for the four years the site has been running. All posts sitemaps are all fine.
    We are not using the paid version as the redirection on premium really messes stuff up on our systems.

    Anyone else having similar issues?

    The page sitemap includes pages that are marked for indexing. If the URL redirects to another page or has a custom canonical URL, the page is removed from the sitemap.

    It appears that you’ve switched to another sitemap plugin or method as the sitemap no longer loads our output.

    If you’d like us to look into the issue, please provide us a few page URLs that were not appearing on the page sitemap.

    Closed. No further questions.

    Yep – I got no response so switched to an offline version, which I then upload.

    Basically we have 1400 pages. 400 of those are indexed. 29 of them showed up in the sitemap.

    So your feedback was no help whatsoever.
    Generally the sitemap.xml functionality – specifically speed and caching needs a major overhaul. Other than that Yoast rocks.

    Thanks
