    Hi.

    Could You also please give our sitemap a backend check?

    On another site that was setup almost at the same time Google recognized it directly. The difference here is – we use an other theme and WooCommerce.

    We waited now 7 days for the second time – with now success.

    Hi Sascha,

    Thanks for getting in touch with us.

    The sitemap appears to be working fine.

    What issue are you facing?

    Assuming Google’s unable to fetch the Sitemap is a bug on their end. Please read here
    https://support.google.com/webmasters/thread/3280971?hl=en

    It’s happening with other SEO plugins as well.

    The most prominent reason behind that seems to be the introduction of the Indexing API

    Google has plans to drop the use of Sitemaps and allow indexing API.

    With that said, if your Sitemap is opening fine and online tools, such as the below one, shows no error, you should be fine

    With that said, always submit only the index of the Sitemap, which looks like this

    Hope that clears the confusion.
