Sitemap Error

    Guys, I received an error in my sitemap while I started using your plugin again.

    Google Search Console says ERROR my sitemap shows as an HTML Page. Once I follow: https://bajrontbooks.com/sitemap_index.xml

    It literally redirects me to the bajrontbooks.com homepage.

    Help me fix this as it’s a really bad error. This can decrease my rankings a lot, if not already, since my visits dropped seriously.

    Thanks in advance

    Hello,

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

    Can you please follow these steps?
    1. Flush the Sitemap cache by following this video screencast:
    https://i.rankmath.com/pipRDp

    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, clear your website cache and resubmit the sitemap in the Search Console.

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

    Anas my good man.

    Thank you for your help.

    I followed the steps and it fixed my issue.

    Though I had no caching plugin.

    SO I only changed the max url in sitemap to 201 per page as stated in screenshot you sent me.

    Thank you very much.

    I have now submitted it to google search console again.

    Wish you all the best,

    Nesim
