Hello, we apologize for the issue you are facing with excluding URLs in the XML sitemap.

- Go to your WordPress Dashboard and navigate to Rank Math > Sitemap Settings.
- Look for the option to exclude specific URLs from the sitemap.
- Add the URL you want to exclude from the sitemap.
- Save your changes.
If you encounter any difficulties while following these steps, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further. Thank you for bringing this concern to our attention.

I do not have the option to exclude URLs under the sitemap settings. That’s why I asked the question.
Hello,
Thank you for contacting us and bringing your concern to our attention.
The Exclude Posts option in the Sitemap Settings is available in the free version of the plugin.
Please note that some options are only available in Advance Mode. If you are not able to find the Exclude Posts option in the Sitemap Settings, please try to switch to Advance Mode: https://rankmath.com/kb/switch-from-easy-to-advanced-mode/
