    hi dear rankmath team

    I have been working with WordPress and many plugins for 20 years,
    In these 20 years, I worked with numerous SEO plugins,
    The Rank Meth plugin has a bug that none of the SEO plugins have,
    attachment-sitemap.xml error 404,
    To view, it is enough to install a raw WordPress without any additional information and install the Rank Meth plugin

    Disable the redirect related to the images in the rankmath and add the attachments to enable the site map and then you will see that the attachments give an error.

    I am a programmer and server manager and I have enough experience, I have checked thousands of things and I am sure that this is a bug of the plugin that should be checked and fixed by you as the developer team.

    I checked all the documents provided on the Rank Meth site to fix the sitemap error, it has no effect and this bug is from the plugin itself, I checked on 5 different sites and all of these sites have problems.

    I’ve checked all of these plus many more, I’m pretty sure the problem is related to the plugin and has nothing to do with the issues mentioned in the link you provided.

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math support.

    This is not a bug. The attachment URLs are set to Noindex by default because they shouldn’t be indexed, as they don’t have much content and can cause thin content issue. Please navigate to WP Dashboard > Rank Math SEO > Titles & Meta > Attachments, enable the Media Robots Meta, and set it to Index.

    The attachment sitemap will work fine after that.

    Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

    According to my review, this bug exists in all previous versions of Rank Meth . The error that leads to 404 is as follows.
    Incorrect http header content-type: “text/html; charset=UTF-8” (expected: “application/xml”)

    Hello,

    Please set the Media Robots Meta to Index and if the sitemap still returns a 404 error, 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/

    That should fix the issue.

    Please let us know if that does not. We are here to assist.

    Thank you!
    That’s right, that was the problem
    I suggest that you explain this issue in the educational link related to the 404 Rank Meth error, because maybe some users, just like me, are involved in this issue for hours and this feature needs to be active.
