    Hi,

    I’ve followed your article on fixing the 404 sitemap errors, but they’re still coming in thick and fast. I’m getting around 6 a day.

    Please can you help me with this.

    Thanks

    Chris

  • Hello,

    Thanks for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    Can you please confirm if you have excluded your sitemap from being cached, using this guide: https://rankmath.com/kb/exclude-sitemaps-from-caching/?

    If yes and still sitemap is returning 404 error then there must be a server-side cache. Please contact your host and ask them to exclude the sitemap from being cached.

    Let us know if the issue persists even after that. Looking forward to helping you.

    Hi,

    I do not have a cache plugin so it is not that.

    I will contact my host.

    Thanks

    Hello,

    The cache could be via a plugin or from the server or Cloudflare.

    If you are using Cloudflare, please follow this article and exclude the sitemaps from caching from Cloudflare:
    https://rankmath.com/kb/exclude-sitemaps-from-caching/#cloudflare

    Please also ask your web host to exclude the sitemap from caching on the server level.

    Also, flush the Sitemap cache by following this video screencast:

    I hope this helps.

    Looking forward to helping you.

    Hi,

    I’m not sure if I’m using Cloudfare or not.

    It says “Starter Cloud” on Name Hero’s website. I do not know how to do much. I am not technical at all.

    I already tried flushing the sitemap cache yesterday.

    Also, I am getting 404 errors for my website title link – https://losephat.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Add-a-heading-500-x-80-px.png”

    Do you know why this is?

    Hello,

    You can contact your host and ask them to exclude the sitemap from caching if you are not sure about it.

    For the other issue, I tried to check but it seems like your site has Coming Soon mode enabled as it is showing a coming soon page. Please disable the mode or use https://imgbb.com/ to share the screenshots.

    Looking forward to helping you.

    Thanks.
