yoast wrong url in sitemap

@slkd7908 We’re sorry to hear you are experiencing this issue on your site.

Can you please confirm you are using the most recent release of Yoast SEO version 16.9? You can learn more about updating here: https://yoast.com/help/how-can-i-update-my-free-plugin/

Also, can you confirm you are using WordPress 5.8? You can check by clicking on the W in the top left and selecting About. If you need to update, please check with your host provider. Please know that if you are using an older version of WordPress Core you may experience unexpected behavior with Yoast. This guide explains more: https://yoast.com/why-we-dont-support-old-wordpress-versions/

If you update to the most current version of WordPress and Yoast SEO, does this resolve the issue?

If you have confirmed both WordPress, Yoast SEO, and all of your site’s other plugins and themes are up to date and the problem is still occurring, we would next recommend performing a conflict check. A plugin or theme conflict can sometimes cause functionality problems, errors, or unexpected behavior from the plugin. If you are unfamiliar with checking for conflicts, we have a step by step guide on how to check for conflicts available here: How to check for plugin conflicts.

Test this on your development or staging site, if you have one. If not, we recommend using the?Health Check & Troubleshooting?plugin. This plugin allows you to run a conflict check?without affecting normal visitors to your site.

Can you please confirm you have performed a complete conflict check by disabling other plugins, and resetting the theme to a default such as TwentyTwentyOne and let us know the results?

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

@devnihil yes i did conflicts test by disabling all plugins except yoast.

i I’m using version 16.9.

No i’m using an old version of WordPress 5.7.2 I didn’t update because some of my WordPress site was crash with elementor then i saw WordPress 5.8 destring some themes and plugins

Except this if any other issue?

@slkd7908 Thanks for your reply.

If you have confirmed that all your plugins and themes are up to date, but that you are using an older version of WordPress, the incorrect and strange URLs you are seeing listed in the sitemap may be the result of the site being compromised. The likelihood of this being the cause is increased due to you using an outdated version of WordPress, as it will be vulnerable to many known exploits that are patched in later releases.

To resolve this, we’d recommend you first contact your web host for more information and to request that they perform a security audit on your account. If you do find the site to be compromised, we can also recommend contacting Sucuri, since they have website security and malware cleanup services. After that, it might also be a good idea to review your WordPress security practices. You can find some additional information on WordPress security practices in the following article: https://yoast.com/wordpress-security

Thanks @devnihil My sitemap issue is fixed as per your recommendation i update WordPress 5.8 Thanks for Your Time.
