Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math, and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
I am not able to search for your site with www
https://i.rankmath.com/8Pjq8h
I checked your sitemap_index.xml, and it gives an error:
https://i.rankmath.com/LTWRHf
Rank Math should be generating your sitemap, so Google can re-crawl and re-index your site. If you are using a different Sitemap plugin, please disable it and flush your Sitemap cache by following this video screencast:

I hope this resolves your issue.
I am using RankMath
https://ibb.co/kgZ9WPX
I don’t know why it is not found, I created sitemap.
How can I fix this
Hello,
Thank you for keeping in touch with us.
We might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress & FTP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.
It is completely secure and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the below plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/temporary-login-without-password/
You can use the above plugin in conjunction with the WP Security Audit Log to monitor what changes our staff might make on your website (if any):
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-security-audit-log/
We really look forward to helping you.
Hello,
I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?
Thank you.
And also please help me to add posts and pages sitemap only. No category no tags and other irrelevant.
Hello,
Thank you for following up.
I’ve checked your sitemap, and it seems that you haven’t verified the www (or non-www) and HTTP (or HTTP) version of your website. 
Please ensure that only 1 version of the sitemap is working (200 Ok status), and the rest are redirecting to it. You can also use this tool to check. Please follow the steps in this link:
https://rankmath.com/kb/couldnt-fetch-error-google-search-console/#5-check-for-the-correct-version-of-the-sitemap
However, I’ve already excluded the category and author in your sitemap. You can see now posts and pages only.
I hope that helps. Thank you, and looking forward to your update.
How can I solve that issue? Could you please elaborate more
Hello,
https://masteryblogging.com needs to have a 301 redirect status code to https://www.masteryblogging.com
This can be done from your htaccess where you can access from your FTP
The code should as follow where example is your domain name:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
If this does not work, kindly refer to your web hosting provider for the rewrite code so that they can be pointed correctly.
I hope this helps with your issue.
Okay I’ll ask my web hosting support for the further conversation, but I’d like to know – on my search console there’s an error of sitemap so – should I again submit my sitemap on search console?
Hello,
Yes, after ensuring your sitemap’s version, you need to resubmit your main sitemap_index.xml only. Google will then use it to crawl the others.
I hope that helps. Thank you, and please don’t hesitate to contact us if you need further assistance.
Hello there,
I submitted the sitemap for only pages and post but I am using a plugin called “WP Coupons” – it helps me to create a coupon for any product and I write an article around it. Here’s one of that link: https://masteryblogging.com/coupons/link-whisper-discount/
And it is ranking on number 1 on Google, so I want to know – is this index because this is neither a post nor a page, this is a separate plugin and I created a post.
Want to know, how to submit a sitemap for that section only [Coupons in my case]
Hello,
Thank you for following up.
I’ve checked the coupon page/s you mentioned, and it seems that they are already indexed. However, to include them in the sitemap, you can enable that option in Rank Math > Sitemap Settings.
It seems that you have removed the link access to your WordPress dashboard. If the issue persists, could you add them again to further investigate?
I hope that helps. Thank you, and looking forward to helping you.
Hello
I have enabled that option. Now – Do I need to submit this sitemap into search console again. https://www.masteryblogging.com/coupon-sitemap.xml
[I have already submitted sitemap for pages and post]
Also, let me know what do I add under “Image custom field”.
Hello,
Thank you for the update.
We recommend submitting only the main sitemap URL https://www.masteryblogging.com/sitemap_index.xml to Google Search Console, as Google will crawl the rest of your sitemaps.
WordPress makes it possible to add custom meta to your posts/coupons using custom fields. If your site makes use of native custom fields or you have a third-party plugin that adds image values to your posts/coupons then this feature is for you.
If you want to add these values to your sitemap for example from a field called `
hero_image then you will need to edit this option and add this field name for the values to be listed on your sitemap.
I hope that helps. Thank you, and please don’t hesitate to contact us if you need further assistance.
