Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
The second website has another WordPress installation and another SEO plugins and have its own sitemap and robot.txt
Am assuming this is what you mean by your second site: omarkhalled.com/ar/ but it is also using the Rank Math plugin as well and not a different SEO plugin. Similarly, its sitemap is also from Rank Math.
Both of these site’s sitemap.xml is redirecting perfectly to sitemap_inde.xml which is how it is supposed to be.
Usually, if you have two lingual sitemaps you do not have to submit both sitemaps to GSC. Google normally uses the hreflang attribute to determine the multilingual versions of your site.
With the Rank Math plugin, it only handles the main language of the site, then your translation/multilingual plugin will add the hreflang tags to the other lingual versions of your site.
Therefore when it comes to submitting your sitemap to the GSC, please submit your main/default lingual version of your site. Also, submit the sitemap with the index extension as sitemap_index.xml NOT sitemap.xml
when i try to search on google search with the title of a blog post i cant see my blog post
I have checked if your blog posts for your English site and noticed that they are indexed on SERPs except your most recent one. See screenshot: https://i.rankmath.com/6X7qc1
This may take a while until Google crawls your site again since you have already marked it to index.
When it comes to ranking there are few things you need to check for Google to consider your site for Ranking. We would recommend implementing an SEO strategy for your site.
Here are a few resources I think you will find useful while devising an SEO strategy.
