Title: Missing Posts From Sitemap Last modified: August 26, 2025 --- # Missing Posts From Sitemap * Resolved [art137](https://wordpress.org/support/users/art137/) * (@art137) * [7 months, 3 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-posts-from-sitemap/) * I just switched from Rankmath and found that Yoast is only listing 55 blog posts out of 450? The site is hosted on WPEngine. I have cleared all cache and switched the sitem generator on and off and still only shows 55 posts. - This topic was modified 7 months, 3 weeks ago by [art137](https://wordpress.org/support/users/art137/). * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fmissing-posts-from-sitemap%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) * Plugin Support [Maybellyne](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maybellyne/) * (@maybellyne) * [7 months, 3 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-posts-from-sitemap/#post-18616064) * Hello [@art137](https://wordpress.org/support/users/art137/), * Thanks for choosing Yoast SEO.

I copied the URL from what you filled in the _The page I need help with:_ field. [This post](https://icsb.org/ayman-tarabishy/womeninmedicince/) is in the post sitemap. [See screenshot](https://www.awesomescreenshot.com/image/56172044?key=742d391faaba617998deb3a24c56cf79). * [/ayman-tarabishy/perfect-storm/](https://icsb.org/ayman-tarabishy/perfect-storm/) was published before 2024/05/08 and not in the sitemap. You have set a custom canonical URL for the post: ``. This means you want the page URL to be ignored by search engines and the canonical URL should be indexed. If this isn’t your intention, I recommend editing the post and ensuring the canonical URL field in the advanced tab of the Yoast SEO meta box is empty. * Thread Starter [art137](https://wordpress.org/support/users/art137/) * (@art137) * [7 months, 3 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-posts-from-sitemap/#post-18616599) * This is what was imported from Rankmath. Apparently slug changes/redirects are picked up as canonicals by Yoast. - This reply was modified 7 months, 3 weeks ago by [art137](https://wordpress.org/support/users/art137/).
