Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math support. We’re sorry to hear that you’re having trouble with the HTML sitemap.
It seems that the code you’re using is not correct. You should use single quotes instead of curly quotes for the filter and the array values. Also, you should use unset() to remove tags from the taxonomies array, instead of overriding it with a new array.
Here’s the correct code that you can try:
add_filter( 'rank_math/sitemap/html_sitemap_taxonomies', function( $taxonomies ) {
// Remove tags from the taxonomies array
unset( $taxonomies['post_tag'] );
// Return the modified array
return $taxonomies;
}, 10, 1 );
Please add this code to your rank-math.php file and clear your cache. Then check if the HTML sitemap is working properly.
That said, you do not need to use code to remove tags from your HTML sitemap. You can remove it by navigating to Rank Math > Sitemap Settings > Taxonomies > Tags and disabling the option that says Include in HTML Sitemap
We hope this helps. If you have any other questions or issues, please let me know.
Have a great day! 😊
Hello,
Thank you for your response.
the code I’ve copied from the developer filter hooks page and there are single quotes, maybe when I paste it here the quotes changed to curly. <= https://prnt.sc/py5Blkasd98q
thanks for the given code.
and for pointing out the settings on the options page. I used the GUI option, and that works.
Thank you!
