    3. Ensure the Sitemap Location: If you manually created the sitemap, make sure it is located in the root folder of your WordPress installation. The correct format should be https://yourdomainname.com/sitemap_index.xml.

    4. Check Index Settings: Ensure that your posts are set to index in Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta. Enable the Index checkbox and save changes to allow your posts to appear in the sitemap.

    Hello,

    This is not an issue with the sitemaps but rather with the page that you are trying to index.

    The canonical of the homepage contains the www variation and you are checking the page without it, so it’s expected to see this not being in the index.

    If you look for the canonical version you can see it indexed on Google without any issues:
    Canonical

    On top of that, the sitemaps are being read correctly, judging by the last screenshot you shared.

    Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.

    Hello,

    There’s nothing to fix here. The other variations of the homepage are already redirecting to the variation you have selected.

    This is not an issue, it’s just Google letting you know the variation of the homepage that is indexing and it’s set as canonical.

    Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.

    Only after manually entering the link into Google Search Console is it indexed.

    Hello,

    Please note that it is completely up to Google if they want to index or not index your website. So, if you haven’t willingly or accidentally made your posts noindex and Google still isn’t indexing your page – it means that either Google doesn’t want to index or hasn’t crawled your page yet because it hasn’t allocated that much crawl budget to your website.

    Please check this website for more details.

    Our plugin only has one discovery method and that is the sitemap, which is working fine for your website, so if Google is not indexing the pages but is discovering them it could be an issue with the crawl budget which you can check the details by going to Settings > Crawl Stats on your GSC.

    Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.
