[Rank Math SEO Plugin] Nginx Server Sitemap

[joshnaughton11]

I am getting these errors with my xml site maps:

on /?sitemap=1 "Error loading stylesheet: Parsing an XSLT stylesheet failed."

and on sitemap_index.xml a 404 error.

I have a Nginx server.

I added these rows to nginx.conf:
# START Nginx Rewrites for Rank Math Sitemaps
rewrite ^/sitemap_index.xml$ /index.php?sitemap=1 last;
rewrite ^/([^/]+?)-sitemap([0-9]+)?.xml$ /index.php?sitemap=$1&sitemap_n=$2 last;
# END Nginx Rewrites for Rank Math Sitemaps

Hello,

I see the issue on your site when AMP Takeover (Beta) option is enabled in AMP Settings, the AMP plugin adds a custom title tag instead of using the one created by the theme. Please add below code in your theme's functions.php file to overwrite the title created by AMP plugin:

add_filter( 'pre_get_document_title', function( $title ) {
	$generate = new RankMath\Generate();
	$title = $generate->get( 'title' );
	return $title;
}, 999, 1 );

Hope that helps. If there is anything else, please let us know.

Thank you.

Hello,

All Settings on your sites looks ok to me. The issue is likely to do with other settings on your server. Please contact your server team, they could help you better with this.

Hope that helps. If there is anything else, please let us know.

Thank you.

[joshnaughton11]

Ok.Thanks. Will contact my host support.

There is a pop-up window that keeps showing with Troubleshooting Mod from the plugin.

How can I disable it?

Thanks.

Hello,

I deactivated the Health Check plugin which I installed on your site to check any plugin conflict. You will no longer see the popup now.

Thank you.

Hi,

I have a big problem with Meta and Titles on SERPS.

Is it from the plugin itself or there is an error because of my AMP plugin which doesn't recognize rankmath?

Can you please check the issue and let me know?

 

Thanks

Hello,

Can you please give us some more details about the problem? What exactly is not working on your site?

Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

[joshnaughton11]

My meta title is not updated.

It stays as "Title - Site name" on SERPS.

Regards

Hello,

If you've recently updated your title, Search Engines probably hasn't indexed the new data yet. It can take up to a week for Google/Bing to index the changes you made, depending on how often your website is crawled. If you type, in Google, cache: followed immediately by the URL of your site or page, you'll see what Google has cached for your site. If the appeared date is before you made the changes, you'll have to wait for Google to crawl your site again.

Also, please stay advised that it is upto Google to honor the information someone passes. If Google feels that some text from the post reflects your content better for a particular search query, it will display different information.

Hope that helps. If there is anything else, please let us know. Thank you.

Hi,

It's nothing about that. The problem is only with the titles, and I didn't make any changes. It happened to all of my posts.

It might be a conflict with the AMP plugin.

Hello,

The login details you added in the Sensitive Data Section is not working for me. Can you please check that and add the correct username and password? Or please use the following plugin and generate a link with the admin access?

Also, please add the links of the pages where title is wrong?

Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

Rank Math plugin is compatible with the AMP plugin which is active on your site.

It looks like Server cache is enabled on your site, the changes I am doing on your site are not reflecting on the frontend. Please contact your hosting team ask them to disable or purge cache. Also, I saw many plugins on your site are not updated, please update those plugins too.

Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

Hi,

I don't think the problem is from hosting because I have the same problem on another website that is on different hosting, having the same AMP plugin and Rankmath.

Yes, it works!

Thank you again for your support (the best I encounter so far)

I will recommend the plugin to everyone, as it's the best.

Thanks again,

Hi,

It seems I have a problem with sitemap. It doesn't generate post and category links.

Also, I set no index to all pages. How can I exclude some pages from not being deindexed?

Appreciate your help.

Thanks,

Regards

Hello,

I don't see any issue with the post and category sitemap on your site /category-sitemap.xml, /post-sitemap.xml.

Do you want to index some pages on your site? If so, please enable the Page Sitemap in Dashboard >> Rank Math >> Sitemap Settings >> Pages.

Hope that helps. Thank you.

[joshnaughton11]

Yeah, I solved that issue with posts in map.

I want to index only 3 pages on my site, but the other (>200) I want to be no-index.

So, I set rank math to no-index all pages. But how can I let the 3 pages be indexed.

Hope you understand my question.

Thanks

 

[Pratik.d]

Hello,

To crawl only a few pages on your site, please make the below changes in your Settings:

1) In Dashboard >> Rank Math >> Titles & Meta >> Pages >> Page Robots Meta >> Select No index
2) In Dashboard >> Rank math >> Sitemap Settings >> Pages >> Enable Include in Sitemap
3) Edit the Page you want to index and in Rank Math Metabox >> Advanced >> Robots Meta, check No Archive option and update the post.

After making these changes, you'll see 1 more sitemap ( page_sitemap.xml ) in sitemap_index.xml.

Hope that helps. Thank you.

[joshnaughton11]

Great! I made the changes. We'll see how it goes.

I checket this http://prntscr.com/ml13z0 a few days ago and seems that Google de-indexed all of my site. I unchecked it today.

Is that what this is for?

Thanks for your help.

Hello,

That setting instructs the search engines to not index your website.

Here's a detailed tutorial on it:
https://rankmath.com/kb/titles-and-meta/

Please go through that once and let us know if you have any questions.

That tickbox should not have been checked on a live website.

Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

[joshnaughton11]

Hi,

I know I shouldn't have been checked it. All my traffic is dead. Hope it will come to normal after google index it back.

I should have paid more attention to that.

Also, I see google doesn't take rankmath meta description on the indexed posts. Is it because of the update or I should wait more to fetch it better after de-index.

Thanks
