Hello,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention. I’m sorry for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.

This issue is caused by a blank line/space in your wp-config.php file or your theme’s functions.php file. Here’s a link for more information:

You can get in touch with your web host to access your website files. Please also provide the FTP access in the sensitive data section so we can check.

Looking forward to helping you.

Thank you.

Hello,

There was blank space in your functions.php file. We have removed the blank space and now your sitemap is loading properly. You can check the screenshot in the sensitive data section.

Hope this helps and let us know if you need help with anything else.

Thank you.
