I am receiving a General HTTP error on my two sites sitemaps (especially in post-sitemap.xml and page-sitemap.xml).
On SmallPetsX.Com
My all sitemap versions are not redirecting to the main version and creating their own white page version. I have checked it in the httpstatus.io site for my both sites. I have pasted the redirection rewrite rule codes in .htaccess file on both sites and still showing the same white page error and 200 status code on other sitemap versions. Furthermore, I have also done the same permalink flush and sitemap setting save button steps and also excluded sitemaps from caching plugins on my both sites.On HindiFreaks.Com
On this site, after pasting the rewrite engine code, all versions are redirecting to the main sitemap version but still in the sitemap_index GSC is showing post-sitemap general HTTP error. I have also done the same permalink flush etc. steps on this site.Resubmitted the sitemaps after all this process and waited for some time, but the errors are still there.

Hello,
Thank you for contacting the support, and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
I checked all the URL variations of your sitemaps in HTTPS status checker and it seems to be returning 200.
I also submitted all your site’s sitemap to an XML validator and its not returning any issues as well as you can see in my screenshot here:
Please ensure that your sitemaps are not heavily cached by excluding them from your caching plugin or any server-level caching software you have on your server. Please refer to this guide: https://rankmath.com/kb/exclude-sitemaps-from-caching/
After doing so, remove your sitemaps from your GSC and resubmit the primary sitemap from your website (sitemap_index.xml). See if the HTTP error is still there.
Let us know how that goes. Looking forward to helping you.
