Sitemaps didn’t Update Automatically

I noticed this yesterday. I changed my permalink structure. Made a mistake and changed it again. The first time, the sitemap updated automatically. But the second time I had to go into the sitemap settings and make a change before the sitemap updated.

Rankmath Support please Solve my problem ASAP

Hello @nitinvarshney and @mesmer7,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

This issue may still be a caching issue from your end.

Please follow the steps below:

Please ensure to 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 that doesn’t help, kindly apply this filter code to your theme’s functions.php file.

add_filter( ‘rank_math/sitemap/enable_caching’, ‘__return_false’);

Here is how to add a filter to your site: https://rankmath.com/kb/wordpress-hooks-actions-filters/

Hope that helps.

Hello @nitinvarshney,

If the sitemap is getting updated and working fine after changing the permalinks, it means that it is getting cached either by your server or a caching plugin. Please make sure to add the exclusion rules mentioned in the guide we shared in our previous reply. Also, make sure to add the following filter to your site:

add_filter( ‘rank_math/sitemap/enable_caching’, ‘__return_false’);

Once done, please make sure that you remove any XML files from wp-content\uploads\rank-math.

Let us know how that goes. Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.
