    Hey,

    Screenshot Link: https://ibb.co/99wqr7ZX

    I have one website (hitvapk.org), and when I check its sitemap in GSC, it shows fully empty, with nothing there.

    I have tried to fix it after updating the sitemap from rankmath plugins and flushing the cache after saving permalinks.

    But Nothing is working for me.

    Also, no referring sitemap was detected, especially for the homepage.

    Can you tell me how to fix this problem? please. It is happening with my other websites also.

    Hello,

    I apologize for the issue you are facing with your sitemap showing as empty in Google Search Console. Thank you for providing the screenshot link and details about your website.

    Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:

    1. Check for Plugin Conflicts: Sometimes, other plugins can interfere with the sitemap functionality. You can use the Health Check plugin to identify if there is a conflict with another plugin or theme.

    2. Flush Permalinks: Since you’ve already tried flushing permalinks, ensure that you navigate to Settings → Permalinks in your WordPress admin area and click “Save Changes” again, even if you didn’t make any changes.
      Flush permalink settings

    3. Check Sitemap Settings: Go to Rank Math SEO → Sitemap Settings and ensure that you have not blocked any posts/pages from appearing in your sitemap. Make sure all relevant post types are enabled.

    4. Caching Issues: If you are using a caching plugin, ensure that your sitemap is excluded from being cached. You can refer to our guide on excluding sitemaps from caching.

    5. Static Files: Ensure there are no static files named sitemap_index.xml on your server that could be conflicting with Rank Math’s generated sitemap. You may need to check via FTP.

    6. Check Source Code: If the sitemap is still empty, check the source code of the sitemap page to see if there is any data present. If the source code is empty, it indicates a deeper issue, possibly with a plugin or theme conflict.

    If after trying these steps the issue persists, please reply to this ticket with any additional details or errors you might be encountering, and a human agent from our support team will assist you further.

    We hope this helps you resolve the issue!
