Sitemaps didn’t Update Automatically

Hello @nitinvarshney

Thank you for contacting the support.

Can you 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 me know if that does not. We are here to assist.

Hello rankmath support i just add mention code snippet on WP Rocket Settings > WP Rocket > Advanced Rules> Never Cache URL(s)
/(.)sitemap(.).xml/
/(.*)sitemap.xsl/

But it didn’t work

Hello @nitinvarshney,

You can try the transient method mentioned in the article we shared to see if it produces the desired results.

When updating the sitemap links fixes the issues we know for sure it’s a caching issue on the sitemap.

Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.

hello again rankmath support i did everything you mention but nothing works. Please solve this problem . last 7 years i am using Rankmath, very good experience with Rankmath Pro but i don’t know what happening in last 2-3 months

please solve my issue rankmath support

Hello @nitinvarshney,

Please make sure that you have added the following filter to your site: https://rankmath.com/kb/exclude-sitemaps-from-caching/#transient-cache

After that, remove any XML files from wp-content/uploads/rank-math to ensure no transients are left behind.

If the issue persists, please check with your host if there is server-side caching that might be causing the issue. You can ask your host to exclude the sitemaps files from being cached.

Hope that helps.

Sir i do everything but nothing works… Please solve my problem i loss my traffic day by day

Hello @nitinvarshney,

If the issue persists even after adding the filter, you should confirm with your host about the server-side cache and ask them to exclude the sitemap URLs. If that also doesn’t work for you, you can try using some other plugin to generate a physical XML sitemap and avoid caching issues.

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

look sir m using ngixn server on cricketaddictor.com domain and hindi.cricketaddictor.com Subdomain the sitemaps of hindi.cricketaddictor.com is working good always but we facing issues in cricketaddictor.com in every 2-3 days we update links per sitemaps than the sitemaps update. All settings are same on both website but why we facing issue in cricketaddictor.com please solve this problem actually we facing this problem last 5 months

Hello @nitinvarshney,

As we mentioned before, when the changes in the links per sitemap happen to update the sitemap it’s clearly a caching issue.

In this case, you might need to double-check every configuration setting from the server and make sure there’s nothing that might have gone unnoticed.

Thank you.
