    Hello sir, I am submitting the XML site map in the google search console, but it shows an error. I make sure that I input the correct and valid sitemap XML link.

    it shows the error in the following way

    The sitemap can be read, but has errors
    Sitemap is HTML

    Your Sitemap appears to be an HTML page. Please use a supported sitemap format instead.

    (I also check your knowledgebase and also found the answer related to it but I am not sure how to do that) please help me ASAP.

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    Your sitemap is redirecting to your homepage.

    Can you please follow these steps?
    1. Flush the Sitemap cache by following this video screencast:

    2. Exclude the Sitemap files of the Rank Math plugin in your caching plugin. The cache could be via a plugin or from the server. For plugins or Cloudflare, please follow this article:
    https://rankmath.com/kb/exclude-sitemaps-from-caching/

    After that, remove all your sitemaps from your GSC account and submit only your main sitemap (https://beingcurious.us/sitemap_index.xml).

    Once done, clear your website cache and wait for Google to crawl it again.

    Hope this helps.

    Looking forward to helping you.
