Sitemap not updating

    Hello,

    we have noticed that our sitemap is not updating.

    We have followed the details in the knowledge base article to delete caches (in wordpress and on server level) and reactivate the sitemap but we see no changes.

    When we update a post the Last modified date does not change and since the sitemap is not updating we also have some posts that are marked as private or draft appearing in the list, which is resulting in some 404 errors.

    Example page set to draft: https://www.gernegesund.tv/ist-diabetes-typ-1-heilbar/ is shown in the post sitemap.

    Can you please advise what else we can do here?

    Thanks

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Whereas the XML Sitemap should dynamically update after any modification to it, if the site or server is caching the sitemap this can cause it to not update right away. We also have additional information on this at the following link: https://kb.yoast.com/kb/sitemap-does-not-update/. If you are not seeing the sitemap as updated, we would recommend checking your caching settings and to ensure that the sitemap is being excluded from the cache.

    If you are still experiencing an issue with the sitemap not updating after checking your caching settings, you can also force a cache reset by temporarily disabling the sitemap feature, and then re-enabling. To do so please perform the following steps:

      ?In WordPress go to SEO>General>Features
      ?For ‘XML Sitemaps’ Toggle the switch to ‘Disabled.’
      ??Click ‘Save Changes.’
      ?Toggle the switch back to ‘Enabled.’
      ?Click ‘Save Changes.’

    ?We also have a guide on how to enable/disable XML Sitemaps here: https://kb.yoast.com/kb/enable-xml-sitemaps-in-the-wordpress-seo-plugin/

    If you are still not seeing the sitemap update after checking the aforementioned items we would next recommend to try performing a conflict check to see if a plugin is interfering with the sitemap being updated.
