Issue on sitemap

Hello @fedsmartsites

Thanks for reaching out regarding your sitemap.

I checked two URLs that are not in the sitemap and discovered the same issue with both; I suspect it will be the same for all URLs, not in the case-studies sitemap.

Page URL: https://vicert.com/success-stories/case-studies/find-a-doctor-app/
Canonical: https://vicert.com/case-studies/find-a-doctor-app/

Page URL: https://vicert.com/success-stories/case-studies/api-integration/
Canonical URL: https://vicert.com/case-studies/api-integration/

When you use a URL different from the page URL as the canonical URL, you’re signalling to search engines to ignore your page URL but index the canonical URL. However, Yoast SEO uses self-referencing canonical; it picks the page URL as the canonical URL.

To resolve, edit the case study and scroll to the Yoast SEO metabox under the default WordPress content editor. Ensure that the canonical URL field in the advanced tab is empty. Does the case study show up in the sitemap now? Do let us know

Ensure that the canonical URL field in the advanced tab is empty.
>>We edited the case study and found that the cannonical URL is empty but the issue is still there.

Do you have any other solution regarding this issue?

Hello @fedsmartsites,

Can you share the URL of the specific case study you shared its screenshot?
