Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention. I’m sorry for the delay and for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.
This is likely because your sitemap is being cached. Could you please exclude your sitemap URLs from being cached then do the following:
1. Head over to WordPress Dashboard > Settings > Permalinks
Hit the save button once.
2. Go to WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > Sitemap Settings
Hit the save button once.
You can then validate your sitemap again and if it is valid, resubmit on your GSC.
Hope that helps. Thank you and looking forward to your update.
not working, still its redirecting.
