I have no way to exclude pages or terms from sitemaps?

    I have no options on the screen to exclude items from site maps. Even other free software allows this feature. Is this a paid-only feature?

    I went through your documentation, and the screens on my site are missing the fields you show on your help documents.

  • Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention. I’m sorry for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.

    No, the exclude post type and terms options are also available in the Rank Math free version.

    Please note that some options are only available when you enable the Advanced Mode in Rank Math. If it’s not showing, you must have chosen to use Easy Mode. Please follow the steps in this link to switch to Advanced Mode:

    Hope that helps.

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    Circling back to your concern, please head over to your WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > Sitemap Settings > General, on this page, you should be able to exclude posts, pages, and terms. See the screenshot below for reference:

    However, in your screenshot, it seems you are still in “Easy” mode, please head over to your Rank Math > Dashboard, and on the top right, click on the “Advanced Mode” and go back to the sitemap settings to see all the options there or you may follow the guide my colleague previously shared.

    Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need my assistance with anything else.

    Again, you’re missing the point. Those fields do not exist. That’s the point.

    Hello,

    In this case, we might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress & FTP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.

    Please do take a complete backup of your website before sharing the information with us.
    Sensitive Data Section

    It is completely secure and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the below plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead:

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/temporary-login-without-password/

    You can use the above plugin in conjunction with the WP Security Audit Log to monitor what changes our staff might make on your website (if any):

    We really look forward to helping you.

    Thank you.

    I had to delete and re-install the plugin, and that seemed to fix it. Thank you.
