GSC Sitemaps: 1 Error, 1 Could not be fetched

    Hello,

    we are having the following problem:

    Our “index” is succesfully fetched by GSC. However “page” and “post” cannot be fetched.

    For “page” it states: not supported data format

    For “post” is states: cannot be fetched

    We looked through various of your tickets and tried all the “tricks”, excluded it from caching, flushed cache etc but GSC will still not accept it. Also checked if it can be read, and yes it can be.

    In one of your faqs it states that “changing the url” can do magic. However, in another faq it states, that your plugin cannot change the URL or the sitemap path.

    What can be done to fix the problem?

    Thank you in advance!

  • Hello,

    Thanks for contacting us and sorry for the inconvenience caused.

    The sitemap of your site doesn’t seem to be coming from our plugin. Please follow this guide to check if some other plugin is causing the issue with the generation of our sitemap: https://rankmath.com/kb/check-plugin-conflicts/

    Let us know how that goes. Looking forward to helping you.

    Yes it comes from your plugin.

    We hid mostly everything with Hide my WP. We deactivated the plugin now, to test if it works now. However it shows the exact same results.

    Hello,

    Please add this filter to your website:

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

    Here is a guide you can follow to add the filter:
    https://rankmath.com/kb/wordpress-hooks-actions-filters/

    Once done, clear your website cache, remove all the sitemaps from the Search Console and submit sitemap_index.xml

    Hope this helps.

    We look forward to helping you.

    We did it with W3 Total Cache, but it still does not work. Google has problems with post and page…

    Ok, somehow it works now for page but not for post.

    Hello,

    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.

    Sensitive Data Section

    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):

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-security-audit-log/

    We really look forward to helping you.

    Thank you.
