Nigel WPML Supporter since 02/2016 Timezone: Europe/Madrid (GMT+02:00)	Hi there The translated posts should appear in the sitemap, and I just ran a quick test on my local site where I confirmed it was working as expected. Could I ask you to try disabling the Yoast sitemap feature, clearing any caches, and then re-enabling the sitemap feature, which should cause the sitemaps to be rebuilt. You can disable/enable the sitemap feature at Yoast > Settings under the API section of the Site features tab. Let me know if that fixes the problem...

andzelikaA Site owner	I tried many times to disable sitemap feature in yoast seo, saving permalinks, enabling sitemap feature again and still same sitemap.

Nigel WPML Supporter since 02/2016 Timezone: Europe/Madrid (GMT+02:00)	When I check the sitemap for you web site it shows that the sitemap was last updated September 29. If you have disabled then re-enabled the sitemap feature within Yoast it seems that the problem is that any caching in place needs to be cleared, before re-activating the sitemap feature.

Nigel WPML Supporter since 02/2016 Timezone: Europe/Madrid (GMT+02:00)	Sorry, could you please test one more time, only this time, disable WP Rocket before creating and translating a test page. What does the sitemap look like then?

Nigel WPML Supporter since 02/2016 Timezone: Europe/Madrid (GMT+02:00)	Thanks for testing. I'm not sure what to suggest next, so I'm escalating this so my colleagues can take a look. I'll get back to you as soon as I have some feedback from them.

Nigel WPML Supporter since 02/2016 Timezone: Europe/Madrid (GMT+02:00)	Do you have a staging server we could do testing on? In particular, as this isn't the normal behaviour, can we verify that it happens in a minimal environment to rule out conflicts from some other code? That is, with all non-WPML plugins except for Yoast disabled, and with a default theme like twentytwentyone.

andzelikaA Site owner	if (isset($sitepress)) add_filter('wpseo_posts_join', 'sitemap_per_language', 10, 2); function sitemap_per_language($join, $type) { global $wpdb, $sitepress; $lang = $sitepress->get_current_language(); return " JOIN " . $wpdb->prefix . "icl_translations ON element_id = ID AND element_type = 'post_$type' AND language_code = '$lang'"; } This was added by previous developer to functions.php theme file.
