Hello, I’m sorry to hear that you’re experiencing issues with your sitemap. It seems like the sitemap is showing as submitted in the webmaster tools, but when accessed, it appears to be empty.
To address this issue, we recommend checking if your sitemap is accessible using a tool like httpstatus.io. This will help identify any issues preventing your sitemap from being accessed by search engines like Google.
If the sitemap is being cached, you may need to exclude it from caching. Additionally, ensure that the sitemap is correctly configured and located in the root folder of your WordPress installation.
If you’re using Rank Math, you can verify if the Sitemap module is enabled in the Dashboard and configure the settings correctly in the Sitemap Settings. You can refer to our article about configuring Sitemaps in Rank Math for detailed instructions.
If you’ve already tried these steps and are still facing issues, please assign this ticket to a human agent using the available buttons, and we’ll have someone from our support team look into this for you. Thank you for bringing this to our attention!
