Last post_sitemapX throw 404

    Hello,

    I recently marked a bunch of old pages with noindex, but they keep generating empty sitemaps that return a 404 error.

    I have cleared RankMath cache, updated permalinks, added in functions.php
    add_filter('rank_math/sitemap/enable_caching', '__return_false');

    In https://www.cotilleo.es/sitemap_index.xml all the sitemaps are listed, but the last ones (>post-sitemap180.xml) are broken.

    I’ve tried adding the IDs in the post exclusion field in the sitemaps, but that doesn’t work either.

    I think for the index it counts all the posts, even if they are without an index.

    How do I solve it?

    Thank you for contacting the support, and sorry for the inconvenience caused.

    This is a bug in our plugin, and we are working on resolving it and will soon release a fix. For now, please increase the number of links per sitemap to make sure that empty sitemaps are not generated.

    Hello,

    After applying your suggestion (increasing the number of links per sitemap), the error persists. The last three sitemaps show a 404 error.

    Hello @jose-lazo,

    We checked your sitemaps, and the links per sitemap are still set to 200. Could you please increase it to 250 instead?

    Afterwards, please follow these steps:
    1. Flush the Sitemap cache by following this video screencast:

    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 us know if that does not. We are here to assist. Thank you.
