Hello, I’m sorry to hear that you’re experiencing issues with connecting your sitemap to Google Search Console and Bing. It seems like there might be some issues with the sitemap setup.
To address this, we can follow a few troubleshooting steps to ensure that the sitemap is correctly configured and accessible to Google and Bing.
Firstly, we can validate the sitemap to confirm that it’s correctly configured. You can use the Validate XML Sitemap tool to check if there are any issues with the sitemap.
If the sitemap is correctly configured, the tool will return a success message. Additionally, ensure that the sitemap is located in the root folder of your WordPress installation. This means there should only be one forward slash between your domain name and the sitemap path.
Furthermore, ensure that your posts are set to index. You can do this by heading over to Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta and enabling the Index checkbox in the Robots Meta settings.
If you’ve already tried these steps and are still facing issues, you can check if your sitemap is accessible using the httpstatus.io tool. Enter your sitemap URL and check the status to identify any issues preventing your sitemap from being accessed by Google and Bing.
If you’re still facing issues after following these steps, please feel free to reach out to our support team directly from here, and we’re always here to help.
I hope this helps!
