Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
I am not quite sure if you are adding the same rewrites that are necessary for the working of Rank Math sitemaps. Just in case, these are the required rewrites that should be added to your Nginx config file:
# START Nginx Rewrites for Rank Math Sitemaps
rewrite ^/sitemap_index.xml$ /index.php?sitemap=1 last;
rewrite ^/([^/]+?)-sitemap([0-9]+)?.xml$ /index.php?sitemap=$1&sitemap_n=$2 last;
# END Nginx Rewrites for Rank Math Sitemaps
Let us know if you are adding different rewrites.
Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.
Hey I know but Yoast requires the same configuration:
rewrite ^/sitemap_index.xml$ /index.php?sitemap=1 last;
rewrite ^/([^/]+?)-sitemap([0-9]+)?.xml$ /index.php?sitemap=$1&sitemap_n=$2 last;
Or is there something different i’m missing`
So? Any Update? I really want to change to using RankMath 🙁
Hello,
It might not be an error in your redirections but another kind of error.
We might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.
It is completely secure and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the below plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/temporary-login-without-password/
You can use the above plugin in conjunction with the WP Security Audit Log to monitor what changes our staff might make on your website (if any):
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-security-audit-log/
We really look forward to helping you.
Okay, but I have deleted the plugin since I don’t want my website to be without Sitemap and end up being penalized by google. So would you be able to install the plugin and import the yoast data. Or is there a way we can schedule a time for the checkup?
Hello,
I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?
Thank you.
Just added the data for login
Hello,
The error is now fixed, the sitemap is loading (as you can see in the Sensitive Data section).
By the way, I have seen you are using Autoptimize and WP Rocket, you should be cautious, since both plugins enable caching on WordPress and you should have only one cache plugin in your installation.
Thank you.
WOW! Prefect Support, you guys are awesome!

What was the problem?
I am having a similar issue though all of my sites on nginx are running into this issue and I have the rewrite rules in the configs. When I press F12 in chrome it is giving me a 404 on the sitemap_main.xml
Never mind, I figured out what my problem was. It had to do with the browser caching.
Hi Adam,
We are glad you found the issue and fixed the problem.
