Hello,
I’m sorry to hear that you are facing an issue with the “No referring sitemaps detected” message after the recent Rank Math plugin update. This message can sometimes appear in Google Search Console even if your page is indexed, the sitemap is successfully submitted, and the robots.txt file is valid.
The “No referring sitemaps detected” message is displayed when Google discovers your URL through means other than the sitemap, such as backlinks. It does not indicate an error and is nothing to worry about.
To ensure that Google has indexed your URL correctly, you can follow these steps:
- Type in
site: followed by the post or page URL into your address bar and press Enter on your keyboard to check if the content displays in search results.
- If the content displays in search results, it means it has already been crawled and indexed by Google.
- If the content does not display in search results, you should return to Google Search Console and click REQUEST INDEXING.
If you have confirmed that your content is indexed and still see the message, you can also try resubmitting your sitemap in Google Search Console. You can remove your sitemap and submit it again following the steps outlined in this tutorial.
If the issue persists after following these steps, please feel free to assign this ticket to a human agent for further assistance by using the available buttons.
Thank you for reaching out with your concern.

Hello,
Thank you for contacting us and bringing your concern to our attention.
The “no referring sitemap detected” means the page has been discovered by Google, and Google knows about it.
Please note that a sitemap is only one of many ways Google discovers the URLs of your site. If Google discovers the URL through other means, it may not cross-reference your sitemap to check if the URL is there. Hence the “No referring sitemaps” message. You can safely ignore this as it will not cause any issues.
Hope that helps and please don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any other questions.
Thank you.
