Sitemap cannot be loaded

Hello, I’m sorry to hear that you’re facing issues with your sitemap after moving your server. Since you’ve already added the necessary Nginx rewrite rules and the prompt has disappeared, there are a few additional steps you can take to troubleshoot this issue:

1. Check if the Sitemap Loads: First, ensure that your sitemap is accessible by visiting _yourdomain.com?sitemap=1_. If this loads your sitemap, it indicates that Rank Math is generating it correctly but may still have issues with the URL rewriting.

2. Flush Sitemap Settings: After adding the rewrite rules, it’s important to flush your sitemap settings. You can do this by going to Rank Math SEO → Sitemap Settings in your WordPress admin area. Make any minor changes to the Links Per Sitemap count and then click the Save Changes button. This can help refresh the settings.
   

3. Check Nginx Configuration: Double-check your Nginx configuration file to ensure that the rewrite rules were added correctly. Here’s the code you should have:

   # START Nginx Rewrites for Rank Math Sitemaps
   rewrite ^/sitemap_index.xml$ /index.php?sitemap=1 last;
   rewrite ^/([^/]+?)-sitemap([0-9]+)?.xml$ /index.php?sitemap=$1&sitemap_n=$2 last;
   rewrite ^/([a-z]+)?-sitemap.xsl$ /index.php?xsl=$1 last;
   # END Nginx Rewrites for Rank Math Sitemaps

4. Server Resources: If your sitemap still does not load, it could be due to server resource limitations. Check your server settings to ensure they meet the recommended requirements for running WordPress and Rank Math effectively.
