    Also the sitemaps generate is adding the domain homepage for both pages and posts I noticed when before with yoast it was structured differently is that not gonna a cause a duplicate issue with Google?

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math for help with 404 errors that are occurring on your website.

    Rank Math only records 404 errors and cannot determine what causes them. In most cases they are caused by search engine robots checking your website for common resources like sitemaps or feeds, or malware robots looking for vulnerable/outdated files. Since these are files that do not exist on your website, you can safely ignore the 404 errors,

    Also the sitemaps generate is adding the domain homepage for both pages and posts I noticed when before with yoast it was structured differently is that not gonna a cause a duplicate issue with Google?

    The homepage appearing in both your page and posts sitemaps will not cause duplicate content issues. You can safely ignore it.

    Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have questions.
