Tags Not Showing Up in Sitemap

Don’t know if it’s appropriate here, but I’m having the exact same issue on my (multi-)site: https://archive.wunk.me/asherwolf-livejournal/

I have selected tags in sitemap for HTML and XML, but they don’t show up. On the XML it’s returning a 404.

Hello @admindroidturf,

Thank you for contacting the support and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

If you have already enabled the tag sitemaps in Sitemap settings, then please ensure that your tags are set to index.

You can go through this guide for the common reasons why a URL is not included in the sitemap:

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the reply. I have checked everything at the link, but the tags are still not showing in the sitemap. @rankmathteam

Hello @admindroidturf,

For initial troubleshooting, please make sure that your sitemap is not getting cached. 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:

3. If the above steps don’t seem to work, kindly apply the following filter code to your site.

add_filter( 'rank_math/sitemap/enable_caching', '__return_false');

Here’s how you can add filter/hooks to your WordPress site:

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

Thank you.

Hi – Thanks for the reply. My developers were able to resolve this. Turns out the tag pages were marked no-index in the robots.txt which is why they were not showing up on the sitemap. Fixed now.

Hello @admindroidturf

Glad you got that resolved.

If it isn’t too much to ask for – would you mind leaving us a review here?
