    Hi RankMath Team,

    I have recently started using Rank Math and added its sitemap to Google Search Console. Initially, everything was fetched correctly, and all the items in the sitemap were processed. However, after a few days, I noticed an error in the Search Console with the message “Couldn’t Fetch” for the sitemap. After that I removed and added once again it’s did the same. Is there a way to submit it once and this should not made error in future.

    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.

    For initial troubleshooting, please follow these steps to flush your sitemap cache:

    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/

    3. Disable the transient cache for the sitemap by applying this filter. This will make sure that your XML sitemap always reflects the latest changes on your site:

    /** 
 * Filter if XML sitemap transient cache is enabled.
 *
 * @param boolean $unsigned Enable cache or not, defaults to true
 */
add_filter( 'rank_math/sitemap/enable_caching', '__return_false');

    If you’re not sure how to add this code, you can follow this guide:

    Once done, follow our guide here to fix this issue:

    Looking forward to helping you.
