Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with your product sitemap. The error you are encountering seems to be related to invalid URLs in the sitemap, specifically in the image tags. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and fix this issue:
-
Check Image URLs: Ensure that the image URLs in your product listings are valid and correctly formatted. The URLs should not contain any special characters or formatting issues like |100%|
. They should look something like this: `https://img.youtube.com/vi/-QZro6QysCA/maxresdefault.jpg.
-
Update Product Images: If the images are uploaded correctly in your media library, try re-uploading them or updating the product images in your WooCommerce settings to ensure they are linked properly.
-
Regenerate Sitemap: After correcting the image URLs, regenerate your sitemap. You can do this by going to Rank Math > Sitemap Settings and clicking on the option to regenerate the sitemap.
-
Validate Your Sitemap: Use a tool like the Validate XML Sitemap to check if your sitemap is now correctly configured after making changes.

-
Submit to Google Search Console: Once you have fixed the URLs and regenerated the sitemap, resubmit it in Google Search Console under Indexing > Sitemaps.

If you continue to experience issues, please reply to this ticket with your site URL so we can assist you further. Thank you for raising this concern, and we hope these tips help resolve the issue!

Hello,
Thank you for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
We have seen this type of issue before with Divi. It happens when you are using the Blurb feature in Divi and using a background image in the Blurb.
Users have already reported this to Divi but we suggest you notify them as well to move the issue to priority. You can ask them if they have a solution where these background images of blurbs are not included in the sitemaps.
The functionality of Rank Math being able to see Divi images and adding them to the sitemap was added by the Divi team and that is why it is recommended that you contact them directly.
However, to fix this issue temporarily, you can disable the Images in the Sitemap option in Rank Math sitemap settings or exclude the specific page from where the image URLs are coming.
Hope that helps and please don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any other questions.
Hello,
Thank you for your response and attention.
The issue happens in the product sitemap. It’s built with Divi and a theme builder template.
We’ve tried changing the image title and alt attribute of the product images, but errors continue to occur in the product sitemap.
Can we tried anything in order to solve the problem?
