Meta tags generated by SEOMatic sometimes contains IP addresses about craft-seomatic

If you have regenerateSitemapsAutomatically disabled, it will not regenerate the sitemap when content authors make changes.

You will need to manually regenerate it with the CLI command:

In order to better diagnose the problem, we disabled these two parameters:

'regenerateSitemapsAutomatically' => false,
'submitSitemaps' => false,

When regenerateSitemapsAutomatically is deactivated, how can site maps be regenerated manually?
Also, is there a way to submit site maps manually from within the plugin?

Thanks

If I had to guess, probably you are not properly setting your site's site URL, as discussed here:

https://craftcms.com/docs/4.x/sites.html#site-url

If your site URL is not set properly, Yii2/Craft will attempt to determine it, and may end up falling back on the IP address.

@khalwat All sites URLs are configured using an environment variable. We are not using @web alias in our configuration.

Well, something is causing it to resolve to an IP address. SEOmatic just asks Craft what the site URL is when generating any of the sitemaps or meta tags that it generates.

So the source of the problem -- somehow -- is upstream from SEOmatic.

It wouldn't have anything to do with sitemap submission to Google, and sitemaps and meta tags are generated when pages are requested -- and then they are cached using whatever your default caching mechanism is.

I wish I had a more solid answer for you, and I'm happy to continue this discussion if it does end up that SEOmatic is somehow at fault -- but I'm rather certain it's going to be a devops issue of some form or another.

Ok thank you for your help, we will continue investigating with that in mind.

Just one last question: what is the behaviour of the plugin when regenerateSitemapsAutomatically is disabled ?
And is there a way to regenerate site maps manually when it is disabled ?
