Following sitemap do not have a valid structure

Hello,

I checked the page source of the sitemap, and the opening tag sitemapindex is added correctly in the sitemap.

Can you please let us know the name of the browser extension that you are using to check this?

Also, https://yourpetanswer.com/ is not a sitemap page, so it won’t have sitemapindex in the HTML.

You can add this filter to your website and see if that helps:

add_filter( 'rank_math/sitemap/enable_caching', '__return_false');

Here is a guide you can follow to add the filter:

We look forward to helping you.

Hello,

I refreshed the results with the extension and the results are now updated:

The sitemap is indeed returning a 404 error and is not accessible.

We might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress & FTP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.

Please do take a complete backup of your website before sharing the information with us.

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):

We really look forward to helping you.

Hello,

If you have any questions in the future, please feel free to create a new forum topic, and it will be our pleasure to assist you again.

Thank you.
