    Hello,

    Thanks for contacting Rank Math.

    The sitemap.xml is already redirecting to the sitemap_index.xml URL so you don’t need to make any changes to the sitemap.

    If you have submitted sitemap.xml in the Search Console, then remove it and submit sitemap_index.xml.

    Hope this helps.

    Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.

    Hi Anas,

    Thank you for your reply. It seems it is working now. When I opened the tickets, both URLs were sending to different pages without redirection.

    Regarding the Search Console, I haven’t submitted it. Do you recommend it? How should I do it? Or does RankMath it automatically?

    Regards,
    Geraldo

    Hello,

    Please click on the submitted sitemap, then on the upper right area, you should be able to remove it:

    Ensure that all caches are cleared on your website before re-submitting it. Here’s a detailed guide: https://rankmath.com/kb/submit-sitemap-to-google/
