No referring sitemap detected

Hello, we apologize for the issue you are facing with your sitemap. The message "no referring sitemap detected" typically indicates that there may be a configuration issue with your sitemap settings or that the sitemap is not being generated correctly.

Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot 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.
   

2. Ensure the Sitemap is Located in the Root Folder: Make sure your sitemap is located in the root folder of your WordPress installation. The correct URL should look like this: https://yourdomainname.com/sitemap_index.xml.

3. Check Index Settings: Ensure that your posts are set to index. Go to Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta and check the Robots Meta settings. Make sure the Index checkbox is enabled for your posts.
   

4. Flush Permalinks: Sometimes, flushing permalinks can resolve issues with sitemap detection. Go to the Permalinks page in your WordPress dashboard and click Save Changes without making any changes.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, please reply to this ticket with your site URL so we can assist you further. Thank you for raising this concern!
