Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to us. I’m sorry for the inconvenience you’re facing with your affiliate links showing up in the sitemap after switching from Yoast to Rank Math.
To exclude affiliate links from the sitemap in Rank Math, you can use the Redirections feature. This feature allows you to manage and categorize your redirections, including affiliate links.
You can follow the steps outlined in this knowledge base article to easily manage affiliate links using Rank Math: Manage Affiliate Links Using Rank Math
If you have any further questions or need assistance with this process, please feel free to ask.

actually I may have done something right in my playing around because it looks like they no longer are showing up. All these link slugs start with /recommends/
However, I do have some different pages that are showing up that I would not like shown, such as thank you/delivery confirmation pages. If there’s an easy way using rankmath to exclude certain pages please point me in that direction and also please can you confirm that the /recommends/ pages are excluded when you see my sitemap?
lastly, I noticed that you have a similar feature for affiliate link tracking and redirection. Is this a free feature and if so, how could I go about switching all my redirect links from Thirsty affiliates over to rankmath to have it all together in one spot?
Hello,
Thank you for contacting support.
If those are added as a CPT you can control the display of the sitemap for them by going to WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math SEO > Sitemap Settings > [CPT Name].
As for excluding specific pages from the sitemap, you can either exclude them by setting them to noindex or use their ID and add them comma-separated to the settings under WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math SEO > Sitemap Settings.
Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.
