Error wordpress on post sitemap

Hello, we apologize for the issue you are facing with your post sitemap. To troubleshoot the error on your sitemap, please consider the following steps:

1. Validate Your Sitemap: Use the Validate XML Sitemap tool to check if your sitemap is correctly configured. This will help identify any issues.
   

2. Flush Permalinks: Go to WordPress Dashboard → Settings → Permalinks and click the Save Changes button without making any changes. This can help resolve 404 errors.
   

3. Check Sitemap Location: Ensure that your sitemap is located in the root folder of your WordPress installation. The correct URL should look like this: `http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9.

4. Ensure Posts Are Set to Index: If all your posts are set to noindex, your sitemap may appear empty. Go to Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta and ensure the Index checkbox is enabled for your posts.
   

5. Check for Plugin Conflicts: Sometimes, other plugins can conflict with Rank Math. You can use the Health Check plugin to identify any conflicts.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further. Thank you for raising this concern!

Hello,

It seems that you have already marked this issue as already resolved.

Yes, you may set your Links per sitemap in Rank Math > Sitemap Settings > General

Please note that Google crawls small-sized sitemaps faster. You can also check Google’s guidelines for sitemaps:

With this in mind, Rank math uses the links per sitemap limit to break down sitemaps into smaller parts.

We usually recommend the links per sitemap between 200 and 500 only for faster crawling.

Looking forward to helping you.
