    Rank Math free

    Hello,

    I have a BK breakfast menu blog website and I am facing an issue with the sitemap. When I type the URL with /sitemap.xml at the end, the sitemap does not open or work properly. I am using the free version of RankMath and I am not sure how to fix this through the settings.

    Can anyone guide me on how to set up the sitemap correctly in RankMath so that it works?

    Thanks.

    Hello,

    We apologize for the issue you are facing with your sitemap. To resolve the problem with your sitemap not working, we recommend following these steps:

    1. Flush Permalinks: Sometimes, flushing the permalinks can resolve sitemap issues. Go to your WordPress admin area, navigate to Settings → Permalinks, and click the “Save Changes” button without making any changes. This can help refresh the permalink structure.

    2. Check Sitemap URL: Ensure you are accessing the correct sitemap URL, which should be https://rankmath.com/kb/fix-sitemap-issues/#404-error. If you are trying to access/sitemap.xml`, it may not work as expected.

    3. Check for Plugin Conflicts: Use the Health Check plugin to identify if there are any conflicts with other plugins that might be affecting the sitemap functionality.

    4. Review Robots.txt: Make sure that your robots.txt file is not blocking the sitemap. You can check this in Rank Math SEO → General Settings → robots.txt.

    If you continue to experience issues after trying these steps, we recommend considering our professional setup service for a comprehensive review and setup of your Rank Math plugin. You can find more information about this service at Rank Math Services. Please note that this service requires a PRO subscription.

    Thank you for raising this concern, and we hope this helps you get your sitemap working correctly!
