Hello, I’m sorry to hear that you’re experiencing issues with your web story not appearing in the sitemap.
The sitemap for web stories is automatically generated by Rank Math and should include all your published stories. If you’re not seeing the newly created web story in the sitemap, it could be due to a delay in updating the sitemap.
To ensure that the web story is included in the sitemap, please follow these steps:
- Go to your WordPress dashboard and navigate to Rank Math SEO → General Settings → Sitemap Settings.
- Click on the Save Changes button to refresh the sitemap.
- After saving the changes, check the sitemap for Stories again to see if the newly created web story is now included.
If you’re still unable to see the newly created web story in the sitemap after following these steps, please assign this ticket to our support team using the available button so that we can investigate this further for you. Thank you for bringing this to our attention!

2. Exclude the Sitemap files of the Rank Math plugin in your caching plugin. The cache could be via a plugin or from the server. For plugins or Cloudflare, please follow this article:

3. If the above steps don’t seem to work, kindly apply the following filter to your site.
add_filter( 'rank_math/sitemap/enable_caching', '__return_false');
