incorrect url in sitemap

    Hello
    First of all I want to apologize for my English.
    I do not speak the language well and have text translated with DeepL Translate tool.

    I work with RankMath, I have not connected my SearchConsole directly through the plugin, because I want to upload the sitemap manually via URL.
    After uploading the sitemap url to Google Search Console, 4 errors showed up.

    Invalid URL 4 instances
    This is not a valid URL. Correct the URL and resubmit the data.
    Examples

    URL: http://on|50px|50px|50px|50px
    Zeile 10 Übergeordnetes Tag: image
    Tag: loc

    URL: http://on|50px|50px|50px|50px
    Zeile 13 Übergeordnetes Tag: image
    Tag: loc

    URL: http://on|50px|50px|50px|50px
    Zeile 16 Übergeordnetes Tag: image
    Tag: loc

    When I look at the mentioned lines in the sitemap, there are not even the mentioned error-urls – they are normal uploaded image urls.

    I don’t understand where these very strange URLs come from.
    Does anyone know about this error and can give me a tip?

    Thank you very much for your input.
    Best Regards
    Cornelia Frei

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math, and sorry for any inconvenience caused.

    Can you please share your sitemap URL?

    You can also follow these steps and see if that fixes the issue:
    1. Flush the Sitemap cache by following this video screencast:
    https://i.rankmath.com/pipRDp

    2. Exclude the Sitemap files of the Rank Math plugin in your caching plugin. The cache could be via a plugin or from the server. For plugins or Cloudflare, please follow this article:
    https://rankmath.com/kb/exclude-sitemaps-from-caching/

    Looking forward to helping you.

    Hello Anas

    Thanks for the quick reply and the support with video and links.
    I have done everything as you described and then uploaded the sitemap to Google again.
    Unfortunately nothing changes, the error message remains the same.
    Sorry, I would like to write something else.
    Best regards and many thanks for your efforts.

    Hello,

    I checked the page source of the sitemap, the issue is on these two pages:
    https://lernraum-seon.ch/termin-buchen/
    https://lernraum-seon.ch/kontakt/

    This happens when you are using the Blurb feature in Divi and using a background image in the Blurb.

    We recommend that you contact the Divi team and ask them if they have a solution for this where these BG images of blurbs are not included in the sitemap. The functionality of Rank Math being able to see Divi images and adding them to the sitemap was added by the Divi team and that is why it is recommended that you contact them directly.

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

    Hello,
    Thank you for the detailed feedback.
    I will follow the advice. May I still leave the ticket open in case I have another question about this issue?
    Best regards Cornelia
