    Hello, the following message keeps appearing in AISEO:

    Static sitemap files detected

    AIOSEO has detected static sitemap files in the root directory of your WordPress installation. As long as these files are present, AIOSEO is unable to create your sitemap dynamically.

    I added the following code to functions.php:
    add_filter( ‘wp_sitemaps_enabled’, ‘__return_false’ );
    add_action( ‘init’, function() {
    remove_action( ‘init’, ‘wp_sitemaps_get_server’ );
    }, 5 );

    but the same message above appears again, even when I click the “Delete static files” button!

    What can I do now?

    Thanks for your reply
    Dieter

    Hi @miau88 ,

    Thanks for reaching out and for sharing the details!

    I just checked your sitemap, and I can confirm that it’s now being dynamically generated by All in One SEO, so everything looks good on your end — the static sitemap files no longer seem to be active.

    Sometimes that message can linger temporarily if old cached files or references are still stored in your browser or server cache. You can safely clear your site cache (and browser cache), then refresh your AIOSEO settings page to make sure the notice disappears.

    In summary — your sitemap is functioning correctly and being handled by AIOSEO as expected.

    Please let me know if you still see the warning after clearing the cache, and I’ll take another look for you.

    Hello Shivam
    Thanks for your reply. I’ve cleared all caches, but the message from AISEO still appears. If AISEO generates the sitemap dynamically, I’ll just ignore the message, right?

    Hi @miau88,

    Thanks for checking that and for clearing your caches!

    Yes, you’re absolutely right — if your sitemap is already being generated dynamically (which it is in your case), then it’s completely fine to ignore that message.

    However, if you’d like us to take a closer look at your site setup just to be sure, you can reach out to us directly through our contact form here by clicking on “submit our Basic Question form” link :

    That way, we can check why the notice won’t go away, and our team will help you investigate it further.
