 * **Plugin Version:** 2.5.1.4
   **WordPress Version:** 6.8.2 Issue Description
 * I’m experiencing a sitemap integration issue between Permalink Manager and RankMath
   SEO plugin. After updating post slugs using Permalink Manager, the XML sitemap
   generated by RankMath continues to display the old URLs instead of the new custom
   permalinks. Steps Taken
    1. **Updated post slugs** using Permalink Manager interface
    2. **Regenerated native slugs** via Permalink Manager → Tools → Regenerate native
       slugs
    3. **Regenerate Custom Permalinks** – This reverts to old URL
    4. **Cleared RankMath cache** and regenerated sitemap multiple times
    5. **Flushed WordPress permalinks** (Settings → Permalinks → Save Changes)
    6. **Cleared all site caching** (plugin cache, server cache, etc.)
    7. **Verified custom permalinks work** – the new URLs display correctly when browsing
       the site
 * Current Behavior
    - **Front-end URLs:** Display correctly with new custom permalinks ✅
    - **WordPress native permalinks:** new URLs
    - **RankMath sitemap:** Still shows old URLs ❌
    - **Post editor “View Post” button:** new URLs

 * Hi [@jrgalia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jrgalia/),
 * When regenerating the sitemap, did you use this method:

 * If this does not help, please try to temp. disable the cache using their hooks:
