Sitemap Not Visible on https://www.conceptcare.com.au/sitemap_index.xml

Hello, we apologize for the issue you are facing with your sitemap not being visible. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot this problem:

1. Check if the Sitemap is Enabled: Ensure that the Sitemap module is enabled in Rank Math. You can do this by going to Rank Math Dashboard → Sitemap Settings.

2. Validate Your Sitemap: Use the Validate XML Sitemap tool to check if your sitemap is correctly configured. Enter your sitemap URL and click VALIDATE SITEMAP.
   

3. Check .htaccess or Nginx Configuration: If you are using an Apache server, ensure that your .htaccess file has the correct rewrite rules for Rank Math sitemaps. If you are on Nginx, check your Nginx configuration file for the appropriate rewrite rules. Here’s an example for Apache:

   # START of Rank Math Sitemap Rewrite Rules
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteRule ^sitemap_index.xml$ /index.php?sitemap=1 [L]
   RewriteRule ^([^/]+?)-sitemap([0-9]+)?.xml$ /index.php?sitemap=$1&sitemap_n=$2 [L]
   RewriteRule ^([a-z]+)?-?sitemap.xsl$ /index.php?xsl=$1 [L]
   # END of Rank Math Sitemap Rewrite Rules

4. Ensure Posts Are Set to Index: If all your posts are set to noindex, your sitemap will be empty. Go to Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta and ensure that the Index checkbox is enabled for your posts.
   

5. Check robots.txt File: Make sure that your robots.txt file is not blocking access to the sitemap. You can check this in Rank Math SEO → General Settings → robots.txt.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, please reply to this ticket with any error messages you may be encountering or additional details about your setup, and a human agent from our support team will assist you further.

We’ve checked your sitemap, and it is getting this error:

Error loading stylesheet: A network error occurred loading an XSLT stylesheet

Can you please confirm if you’ve set any rules on your .htaccess file for trailing slash? If so then please share the rule with us so that we check further.
