[Resolved] The same sitemap reflecting in both domains
This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
I'm using different domains per language and the sitemap of Yoast SEO not working correctly. The first domain appears in the second language sitemap and vice versa. Solution:
This issue is related to the transient caching of Divi builder which is compatible with Yoast SEO. Please follow the workaround below to fix the issue:
- IMPORTANT: Please backup your database and website before proceeding.
- Edit the file /wp-content/plugins/wp-seo-multilingual/classes/class-wpml-wpseo-xml-sitemaps-filter.php
Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link
The ramset.com.au sitemap is reflecting with the newzlead ramset.co.nz sitemap.
Could you please check it and resolve ASAP.
Thank you for contacting WPML support, I'd be happy to help you with this issue.
If you are using different domains per language, each domain will have its own sitemap URL and links to the translation content. I think you can try to recreate the sitemap. Please check the following article from the Yoast documentation on how it should be done: hidden link
After doing this procedure, remember to clear all cache existing in the website (from any plugins and also server-side, if you have them enabled).
If it doesn't work, then we might be facing an interaction issue with a third-party functionality, in this case:
- Deactivate all the plugins that are not related to WPML and Yoast
- Switch for a moment to a WordPress default theme like Twenty Twenty-one
- Try to recreate the sitemap again. If the issue is gone, activate one by one to see with which one there is an interaction issue.

I also recommend updating WPML plugins to the new version (WPML 4.6.7 and String Translation 3.2.8) and increasing WP memory limit: the minimum requirements are 128M, but we do recommend 256M and the debug information of your site shows it set to 40M. Please check this link for more details https://wpml.org/home/minimum-requirements/.
Hi Long,
Thank you for the information. I followed the steps you recommended. I've updated the necessary plugins to the latest versions and cleared the cache. However, the sitemaps for both domains are still not functioning as expected.
When I search for hidden link and hidden link, it appears that the Australian site's sitemap is displayed for both domains.
Also if we check the sitemaps the newzlead sitemap is showing for australia domain.
I would like to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to your site to take a better look at the issue. It would be better to have a testing site where the issue is replicated. Your next reply is set to private to share the info.

You can use this plugin to create the backup: https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/
✙ I would need your permission to de-activate and re-activate Plugins and the Theme to change configurations on the site if needed. This is also a reason the backup is critical.
It sounds like a sort of caching issue. If I go to Yoast > Settings > Disable Sitemap feature > Save and re-enable it, then the NZ domain displays in both sitemaps.
Can you please contact your hosting/server support and ask them if there is a caching module enabled, turn it off for a while and recheck the issue.
I tested on our Cloudways server with a clean installation and did not see that issue: hidden link hidden link
Hi Long,
I have disabled my cache in the Ngnix server. Also, I have deactivated the Wp-Rocket. Then I checked by enabling and disabling the sitemap features in the YOAST seo but still the issues is presisting. Please check and let me know.
I got some info from our 2nd tier support: this issue is related to the transient caching of Divi builder which is compatible with Yoast SEO. To fix this on your live site, please follow steps below:
