Unable to submit my website sitemap on google webmaster have error

Hello, we apologize for the issue you are facing with submitting your sitemap to Google Search Console. The error message indicating that your sitemap does not contain any URLs suggests that there may be a configuration issue with your sitemap.

Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve this issue:

1. Validate Your Sitemap

Use the Validate XML Sitemap tool to check if your sitemap is correctly configured. Enter your sitemap URL and click VALIDATE SITEMAP. If there are issues, the tool will provide details on what needs to be fixed.

2. Ensure the Sitemap is Located in the Root Folder

Make sure that your sitemap is located in the root folder of your WordPress installation. The correct URL should look like this:

`https://rankmath.com/kb/google-site-verification/

3. Check Indexing Settings

If all your posts are set to noindex, your sitemap will appear empty. To ensure your posts are indexed, go to Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta and enable the Index checkbox in the Robots Meta settings.

After making these changes, save your settings and try resubmitting your sitemap in Google Search Console.

If you continue to experience issues, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further. Thank you for raising this concern!

Hello,

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:

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, remove all your submitted sitemaps and resubmit your main sitemap only:
https://rankmath.com/kb/submit-sitemap-to-google/

Then give Google some time to crawl your sitemap and the “Last read” column date should be updated as well.

Looking forward to helping you.
