URLs for additional Polylang languages are missing in the sitemap

  • Hello! Firstly, thank you very much for such a cool plugin. I switched to it from Yoast SEO a long time ago and have never regretted it.

    But there is one problem that I noticed recently. I have an online store on WooCommerce with three languages: Ukrainian (main), English, and russian. And for some reason, only URLs in Ukrainian get into the sitemap of categories (product_cat-sitemap.xml) and tags (product_tag-sitemap.xml). At the same time, product sitemap (product-sitemap.xml) and page sitemap (page-sitemap.xml) contain URLs in all three languages.

    Please help to solve this problem. Thank you in advance!

    Hello @mswebadm,

    Thank you for contacting the support, and sorry for the inconvenience caused.

    Unfortunately, Rank Math is still not yet 100% compatible with Polylang, which can be why the category URLs of secondary languages are not included in the sitemap.

    We have been trying to collaborate with them for a few years but left the conversation when they refused to add the compatibility even though they have it for several other plugins (some of them have a smaller user base compared to RM)

    https://github.com/polylang/polylang/tree/master/integrations

    You can check their public repository, where we created a pull request (linked to from your opening post) a few years back, and we would have maintained it (though that would not have happened ideally since we do not make changes in the plugin that breaks the compatibility).

    Disappointingly, compatibility needs to be added in their plugin as they added for other SEO plugins. We are more than committed to making that happen and always keep it updated if their team agrees and wants to collaborate.

    However, even if the URLs are not part of the sitemap, the category URLs of the main language should have the hreflang tags for other languages, and Google will be able to find the secondary language URLs by following the hreflang tags.

    Hope that helps. Let us know if you need any other assistance.
