cpt sitemap and wpml add not exisiting pages

Hello @jwbdv

Thanks for reaching out about your CPT sitemap, but the issue you have described isn’t clear.

Please provide us with screenshots that highlight the issue you are experiencing. You can use any image-sharing service like https://pasteboard.co/, https://snag.gy/, https://imgur.com/, https://snipboard.io/, or even upload the screenshot to your own website. Once you upload it to an image-sharing service, please share the link to the image here.

hi ??

thx

@jwbdv Thanks for your reply and for proving the screenshot.

Whereas the XML Sitemap should dynamically update after any modification to it, if the site or server is caching the sitemap this can cause it to not update right away. We also have additional information on this at the following link: Sitemap does not update.

If you are not seeing the sitemap as updated, we would recommend checking your caching settings and to ensure that the sitemap is being excluded from the cache.

If the sitemap is being cached by a plugin we have directions on how to add an exclusion for the sitemap files to your cache plugin at the following link: How do I prevent sitemaps from being cached?

If you are still experiencing an issue with the sitemap not updating after checking your caching settings, you can also force a cache reset by temporarily disabling the sitemap feature, and then re-enabling it. To do so, please refer to the guide on how to enable and disable XML Sitemaps located here: How to enable and view the XML sitemap in Yoast SEO.

hm, i dont thing it is a cache issus.
there are urls generated that dont exists, see:

/de/presse/gebaeudeuebergabe/
/de/press/gebaeudeuebergabe/

the second one donst exsists as page, it should be inside the sitemap

Hello @jwbdv

Is it possible to make the full URLs of the sitemap visible in your screenshot? Is the CPT /presse/ or /press/? I ask because you mentioned that /press/ is the CPT then, /de/press/gebaeudeuebergabe/ is not a page but should be in the sitemap.

The issue you are described is really confusing and we hope you can provide some more clarification

the cpt is “presse”
the slug is transalted into “press”
the domain is www. lindt-home-of-chocolate .com

That was helpful. I see this URL throws a 404; it looks like a translated page you deleted but still appearing in the sitemap. I see about seven other URLs related to it, throwing the same error.

You have WP Super Cache and Autoptimize plugins active on the site. Can you speak to their support team on how to exclude the sitemap from being cached by those plugins?

just a quick clarification; Autoptimize does not do page caching and does not touch sitemaps ??

frank (ao dev)

thx so far.
it has nothing todo with caching.
not WP Super Cache or Autoptimize.

It has something todo with yoast and wpml.

please help

Often, we see problems occur in combination with another plugin or theme. The fastest way to rule out any conflict is to deactivate all non-Yoast plugins and switch to a standard theme like Twenty Twenty-Two.

Please test this on your development or staging site if you have one. If not, we recommend using the Health Check & Troubleshooting plugin. This plugin has a troubleshooting mode, which does not affect normal visitors to your site.

If you’re unfamiliar with checking for conflicts, we’d like to point you to a step-by-step guide that will walk you through the process: How to check for plugin conflicts

If you feel uncomfortable doing this yourself or if this does not solve your issue, our Yoast SEO Premium plugin comes with one year of (technical) support.
