    Hello,

    Rank Math automatically divides your big sitemaps in smaller ones, so Google parses them faster. That is why you have to add to the Search Console only the sitemap_index.xml file since all the other sitemaps can change automatically so using the sitemap_index.xml file, Google is able to find them.

    Looking forward to help you.

    Hi Alberto,

    Thank you. Though what is the limit it starts to split them into separate site maps? As I only have 62 posts and it’s already split it into the 2nd one. Also the 2nd sitemap is showing a 404 error. Can you please take a look and see what is happening?

    Tyrone.

    Hello,

    We might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.
    Sensitive Data Section

    It is completely secure and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the below plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead:

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/temporary-login-without-password/

    You can use the above plugin in conjunction with the WP Security Audit Log to monitor what changes our staff might make on your website (if any):

    We really look forward to helping you.

    Hi,

    Sure. I’ve added it in the sensitive data area.

    Thanks.

    Hello,

    I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?

    Thank you.

    Hi,

    Sorry about the trouble this must have caused.

    We have hit the save button at WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > Sitemap Settings.

    That seems to have done the trick and now the sitemaps are showing up correctly:

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

    Thanks Todd.

    Yes it’s appearing correctly now.
