Hello,
We apologize for the issues you are facing with Rank Math. Thank you for raising your concerns.
1. Errors Displayed on Main Website
It seems like there might be a conflict between your theme and Rank Math. To troubleshoot this, we recommend checking for plugin conflicts using the Health Check plugin. This can help identify if another plugin is causing the issue. Additionally, ensure that you are using the latest version of Rank Math, as updates often include fixes for compatibility issues.
2. Unable to Generate Sitemap
If you are unable to generate a sitemap, please ensure that you are submitting the correct XML sitemap URL to Google, which should be in the format: `https://rankmath.com/kb/solving-redirection-issues-using-rank-math-seo/. If you have confirmed that the URL is correct and are still facing issues, it may be due to a plugin conflict or settings in your robots.txt file. You can check your robots.txt settings by going to Rank Math SEO → General Settings → robots.txt.
If these suggestions do not resolve your issues, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will take over and assist you further.
Thank you for your patience, and we look forward to helping you resolve these problems!
In relation to the 1st issue, just to let you know I temporarily switched off the Rankmath. It helped but I would like to use Rankmath again.
Thank you.
Best regards
Hello,
The links occur due to the HTML Sitemap option in Rank Math.
To remove those links, head over to Rank Math > Sitemap Settings > HTML Sitemap > Display format and change the page or select the Shortcode option to remove it from your homepage’s content

Here’s a link for more information:

Looking forward to helping you.
Hello Reinelle,
thank you very much.
It works.
However I am still unable to overcome the sitemap index white screen issue despite following your tutorials.
Can you please help me?
Many thanks
Hello,
The issue is due to the invalid character in the website name you have set in Rank Math > Titles & Meta > Local SEO: Rehabilitacji w Stróżach
You may check with your website’s database to replace the character and fix the issue in the sitemap as well.
Looking forward to helping you.
Hello Reinelle,
thank you very much for your prompt help.
It works.
I was not aware of this as on my other website with Rankmath uses this town name “Stróże” (and other form “Stróżach”) and it works ok and there were no issues related.
I wonder now how this may implicate the SEO.
In Polish alphabet there are characters like “ą”, “ć”, “ę”, “ł”, “ś”, “ó”, “ż”, “ź”…
Anyway, thank you very much again for your time and precious help!
Best regards
