My Main sitemap and category sitemap and landing pages sitemap aren’t showing.

Hello,

I’m sorry to hear that you are facing issues with your main sitemap, category sitemap, and landing pages sitemap not showing up correctly. The error message you mentioned, “Incorrect http header content-type: ‘text/html; charset=UTF-8’ (expected: ‘application/xml’),” indicates a problem with the content type of your sitemap.

To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:

1. Flush Permalinks:

   • Navigate to your WordPress Dashboard → Settings → Permalinks.
   • Click the “Save Changes” button without making any changes to flush the permalinks.

   

2. Flush Sitemap Settings in Rank Math:

   • Go to Rank Math SEO → Sitemap Settings in your WordPress admin area.
   • Change the value in the “Links Per Sitemap” field. If it is 200, change it to 201 or any other value.
   • Click the “Save Changes” button at the bottom of the page.

   
   

After following these steps, please validate your sitemap again using an external tool like Validate XML Sitemap to ensure that the issue has been resolved.

If the issue persists, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from our support team will assist you further.

Thank you for your understanding and patience.
