Hello,
I’m sorry to hear about the issue you’re facing with your sitemap not accurately reflecting all the posts and web stories on your blog. Thank you for providing the details of the steps you have already taken from our blog posts.
To address the discrepancy in the number of posts and web stories shown in your Google Search Console sitemap, we recommend taking the following steps:
-
Check if Your Sitemap is Accessible: Please use the httpstatus.io tool to verify if your sitemap is accessible. Enter your sitemap URL and check the status to identify any issues preventing Googlebot from accessing it.
-
Exclude Sitemaps From Caching: Ensure that your sitemap is not being cached. You can refer to our tutorial on how to exclude sitemaps from caching for detailed instructions.
If after following these steps, the issue persists, please reply to this ticket. A human agent from our Rank Math Support team will further investigate and assist you in resolving the problem.
Thank you for your understanding and patience as we work to resolve this issue for you.

Hello,
The URL you have shared in your screenshot is already indexed and shown on the search results page

Please note that it will not result in the actual number of links in your sitemap as sitemaps are only one of the few methods Google uses to discover your URLs.
When the count of the Discovered URLs is zero or does not match your actual sitemap in your Google Search Console, it means Google didn’t use the sitemap to find the URLs.
It mostly happens when you have good internal linking or use the Instant Indexing plugin.
Here’s a link for more information:

Hope that helps.
