    Team RankMath,

    Please help me to find out this issue.

    I am little bit confused where to redirect these .txt and .xml URLs. Can I redirect to homepage or somewhere else?

  • Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention. I’m sorry for the confusion.

    It seems that you’re getting those from the 404 Monitor. For the sitemap entries, you can redirect them to your actual sitemap by default is /sitemap_index.xml.

    For the .txt, you can redirect it to your homepage. Or, you can add them to the exclusion list at WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > General Settings > 404 Monitor > Exclude Paths

    Furthermore, we only report the 404s. We do not have information on how or why they are generated. You can get further insight into them by enabling the advanced monitor at WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > General Settings > 404 Monitor:
    https://rankmath.com/kb/monitor-404-errors/#advanced-404-monitor

    That will give you more information like referrer and user-agent. You can use that information to track down the source or find out if it is just bots generating those errors.

    I hope that helps.

    Thank you, and please don’t hesitate to contact us anytime if you need further assistance with anything else.

    Thank You for your Help.
