Hello,
Thank you for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
Can you please share your sitemap URL with us also the post URLs you’re trying to exclude? Meanwhile, please try to follow the steps below and see if that works for you:
1. Flush the Sitemap cache by following this video screencast:
https://i.rankmath.com/pipRDp
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/
3. If the above steps don’t seem to work, kindly apply the following filter to your site.
add_filter( 'rank_math/sitemap/enable_caching', '__return_false');
Here’s how you can add filter/hook to your WordPress site:

Let us know how it goes. Looking forward to helping you.
Thank you.
Hello,
We deeply apologize for the unexpected delay in response. Your previous reply seems to have been stuck in our drafts section for some reason.
We’ve checked your /page-sitemap.xml but the pages you’ve shared are not appearing there. Please check the screenshots below for reference:


If you’re still facing the issue, please try to clear your browser cache and check your sitemap again.
Let us know how it goes. Looking forward to helping you.
Thank you.
Hi,
Sorry for the delay here as well. The problem still persisted so I just had to delete the pages that showed up. So, not ideal, but problem solved.
