    Rank Math free

    Hi, when I clicked “Your sitemap index can be found here:

    Is this the correct reference sitemap that RankMath should show? Another question: How do I download my sitemap from RankMath so that I can upload it to my Google search console? Please help. Thanks

    Regards

  • Hello,

    We apologize for the issue you are facing with your sitemap page. Based on the screenshot you provided, it seems that the sitemap is not displaying correctly. To troubleshoot this, please ensure that you have enabled the Sitemap module in Rank Math and check for any plugin conflicts using the Health Check plugin. Additionally, you can verify if your sitemap is accessible by visiting `https://rankmath.com/kb/check-plugin-conflicts/. If it loads correctly, you may need to check your server’s rewrite rules or caching settings.

    Regarding your second question, you do not need to download the sitemap manually. Rank Math automatically generates a sitemap for you, and you can submit it directly to Google Search Console using the following steps:

    1. Sign in to Google Search Console using the account connected to your website.
    2. Navigate to Sitemaps and enter sitemap_index.xml in the "Add a new sitemap" field.
    3. Click on Submit to submit your sitemap.

    This way, Google will always have the latest version of your sitemap without needing to upload any files manually.

    Thank you for raising this concern, and we hope this helps resolve your issues! If you have further questions, feel free to ask.

    It works. The sitemap.xml is displaying correctly now and just submitted to Google console https://flashjobsapp.com/sitemap_index.xml

    The Health Check plugin didn’t help. Instead i had to deactivate Page Optimisation plugin and re-activate. The earlier settings of that plugin made the sitemap_index.xml

    Thx ya
