    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math, and sorry for any inconvenience caused.

    We have identified an issue with the author sitemap in the latest release of the plugin and we already logged it.

    The issue should be fixed in the upcoming update.

    In the meantime, please know that downgrading the plugin should help resolve the issue.

    I checked the post sitemap, it is working fine:

    Please follow these steps:
    1. Flush the Sitemap cache by following this video screencast:

    2. Exclude the Sitemap files of the Rank Math plugin in your caching plugin. The cache could be via a plugin or from the server. For plugins or Cloudflare, please follow this article:
    https://rankmath.com/kb/exclude-sitemaps-from-caching/

    Once done, remove the sitemaps from the Search Console and add sitemap_index.xml and wait for Google to crawl the sitemap.

    That should fix the issue. Please let me know if that does not. We are here to assist.

    I updated to the latest version, and followed the steps you suggested. Google has since recrawled my site but it has not fixed either problem.

    Author sitemap still contains errors:

    Post sitemap still contains errors:

    This is the ‘not a valid url’ getting inserted into posts:

    Please advise

    Hello,

    Unfortunately, there’s an issue with the latest version of Rank Math with the Author Sitemap. As we have suggested earlier, please use the previous version of Rank Math, in order to fix this issue.

    We will be fixing this in the upcoming version of Rank Math. For the time being, please use a previous version: https://rankmath.com/kb/version-control/#num-1-1-how-to-rollback-rank-math-to-a-previous-version

    If you roll back to a previous version and you are still seeing this error, please get back to us, so that we can assist you further.

    Thank you

    Hello, thank you for the response. Yes I have rolled back to a previous version. The Author sitemap is fixed, but the problems with the Post sitemap persist.

    Hello,

    Upon further checking the screenshot and Sitemap you shared, the images have encoded URL format within the sitemap. These errors are caused by the use of dynamic images on your site:

    We suggest you please reach out to Divi Support to fix this on how they link out these images and we will do the same from our end.

    Hope this clarifies your issues here. If you have any further questions, please let us know.

    Thank you
