    Hi
    I have been trying to solve sitemap issue from quite some time now. I have checked all posts and solutions regarding it. Tried every thing from theme change and conflict checks etc. But nothing worked.
    My sitemap url: https://www.infopiler.com/sitemap_index.xml
    Only thing that worked is to install a additional plugin for sitemap. But as it does not support web-stories sitemaps. So I want to use rankmath sitemap feature.
    P.S: Sitemap page shows blank and inspect option doesn’t work.
    Please let me know how to solve it.
    Thank You

    Hello,

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

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

    Please do take a complete backup of your website before sharing the information with us.

    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:

    Hello,

    If you visit the /sitemap-index.xml URI on yoursite (or any of the sitemaps under it, such as /post-sitemap.xml), and view the source code, you can see that the XML sitemap itself is working, but the linked XSL file is not – /main-sitemap.xsl returns a 404. We can only access that with the direct URI that looks like this: /?xsl=main.

    So the issues are basically that /sitemap.xml should redirect to /sitemap-index.xml and /?xsl=main should be rewritten to /main-sitemap.xsl (the rewrite pattern looks like this: '/([a-z]+)?-?sitemap\.xsl$/' => '?xsl=$1').

    These issues are most probably related to your server configuration. Please get in touch with your hosting provider about these.

    I’d like to add that the only purpose of the XSL file is to make the sitemap “human-readable” so in terms of SEO it doesn’t make a difference. Google will still see the sitemap correctly, even without the XSL. And, if you send in the correct /sitemap-index.xml to Google in Search Console, then the /sitemap.xml redirection isn’t important either.

    In other words, these issues will not hurt your SEO.

    Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.
