General HTTP Error w. Sitemap in Search Console

#85357

    Hi there,

    I tried everything from all the other threads, but for some reason the sitemap of robotic-eyes.com cannot be read by the search console (see pic). https://ibb.co/4PV4KZx

    I temporarily disable WP Rocket and ALL other caching on the server-side.
    Also tried everything else, deactivated stackpath and so on..

    Please advise on how to fix that. I can access the sitemap index normally as well as the page index. Indexing API also works fine, ownership is right and so forth.. https://robotic-eyes.com/sitemap_index.xml

    Thank you in advance. I will provide login data in the sensitive data section.

    Cheers
    Alex

  • Hello,

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

    Assuming caching is still disabled, please do the following:

    1. Head over to WordPress Dashboard > Settings > Permalinks

    Hit the save button once.

    2. Go to WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > Sitemap Settings, change links per sitemap to a different value

    Hit the save button once.

    3. Go to your GSC, remove any previously submitted sitemap and resubmit only the main sitemap URL(sitemap_index.xml)

    That should fix the issue.

    If it doesn’t, please do let us know so we can look at this further.

    Hello,

    I wanted to add that the last read date on the problematic sitemap is 9/11. The issue is no longer there as confirmed using this 3rd party tool:

    Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

    Edit: I think the issue is that the sitemap IN rankmath is shown as http while the actual URL is https…Changed it the site-url to https in general and… IT WORKED!!!!

    Hello,

    Those are good news! Then, do you have any other questions? Or do you want us to close this thread? In any case, we will be here if you have any other questions or issues in the future.

    Looking forward to help you.

    Hi Alberto,

    nope, thank you, that is all. However, some feedback: I’d really put emphasis in your documentation to make sure that the submitted sitemap needs to be the same as the one generated in rankmath (http/https) otherwise it won’t work. I’m sure that someone might encounter this issue sometime in the future.

    Thank you again, stay safe and best regards
    Alex
