XML sitemaps is adding deleted entries that don't exist

You’re probably looking at a cached version of the sitemap. Please check your sites sitemap feed via /?feed=sitemap for comparison.

If you share a link to your site I can take a look…

Hello RavanH, they are showing in /?feed=sitemap-posttype-post as well, btw, I cant even see the entries in the post list in wordpress admin.

And how did you move your site? Are all settings (home and wordpress urls) on Settings > General correct?

Have you tried to resave your Permalink structure on Settings > Permalinks?

I moved my website manually, i’m afraid those entries were 404 in the previous website’s location as well, the settings are correct and i chagned the permalink structure to fit my needs, so, yea.

Do you have any tips to fix these entries? They are probably no more than 80 in a database with 400 entries.

So these are not listed in your WordPress admin as posts or pages but still they are in the database, marked published? I’ve never seen that happen before… Searching https://www.google.com/search?q=wordpress%20moved%20site%20404 it seems you’re not the only one but I’m not sure if these are similar to your issue.

Maybe one of the database manager/cleaner/optimizer plugins out there can help you?
