  • Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math support, and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    I tried checking your sitemap on my end and it seems to be working just fine as you can see in my screenshot below:

    Please follow the steps below:

    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:

    After that, check the sitemap again.

    Let us know how that goes. Looking forward to helping you.

    Hi,

    Thank you for your reply.
    So I did as you said and it comes up fine, though not in my GSC, I guess as it has not been updated yet.

    Should I resubmit the sitemap or just leave it now?

    Best

    Hello,

    You should remove all the sitemaps from the Search Console and submit sitemap_index.xml again and wait for Google to crawl the sitemap.

    Hope this helps.

    We look forward to helping you.
