Hi,
I have some Custom Post Types that I use with the "fallback to default language" setting. Their contents are not translated and in the FR and IT versions only the labels are translated (with PO MO files).
Example:
Original EN version: hidden link
IT version: hidden link
FR version: hidden link
My problem is that these custom post types ("/it/" and "/fr/") are not included in the sitemap generated by Yoast SEO, and as a result is not possible to find them on Google.
How can I include these CPT (with "fallback to default language") in the sitemap?
I can see the issue on your site. I see that the translated posts are not showing on the sitemap. I even get similar behavior when I try it on my tests site with the default WordPress posts. I'm not sure if this behavior is expected or not. I say it because the posts do not actually exist but only 'displayed as translated'. It is true that the URLs exist if you view them but in the DB there is no record for those posts in the wp_posts table.
I'm consulting our second tier supporters about this issue, and I'll get you updated here once I have an answer from them.
Thanks for your feedback. CTP appears in the Sitemap only if I duplicate the original content (EN) in the other languages.
But I'm using CTP with "fallback to default language" settings and I honestly prefer not to translate them: they are user generated content.
But I need them in the sitemap.
It seems that currently, this is the behavior. "fallback to default language" posts are not showing in Yoast SEO sitemaps. Our second tier supporter also says that this is the case.
I've asked our second tier supporter if this issue can be submitted as a feature request to our developers. Feature request -> Include ‘display as translated’ posts and pages in Yoast SEO sitemaps.
I'm waiting for a reply from our second tier, and I'll keep you updated here.
