XML and HTML sitemap not updating

#608014

    Hello,

    The XML sitemap and HTML sitemap were not updating in line with the site content. Additionally, pages that were marked as noindex were still appearing in both sitemaps. Flushing the cache (changing from 200 to 201) and saving permalinks did not work. The only way this was resolved was by disabling the sitemaps module altogether and then re-enabling it. We do not want to repeat this process manually in the future. How can we ensure the sitemaps are automatically updated in the future?

    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:

    That should fix the issue.
