    We use Rank Math for all our client WordPress sites to great success. However, we just made some changes to our own website and when we upload the pages sitemap into Google Search Console we are getting 9 errors out of 17 pages. This has never been an issue previously. Could you fix this issue? Here is the site map: https://www.icommotion.com/page-sitemap.xml

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    Could you please share the URLs that seem to be affected. Also include screenshots of the errors as shown in your GSC, you can upload the screenshots through htpps://imgur.com and share the URL in the sensitive section.

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

    Hi Michael,

    On GSC, when I click next to the 17 pages I uploaded the site map for it shows 17 valid pages and no errors.

    When I click on the on that same site map entry under status and “9 Errors”, it shows this:

    Sitemap can be read, but has errors
    Invalid URL
    9 instances
    This is not a valid URL. Please correct it and resubmit.
    Examples
    URL:
    #ffffff
    Line 30
    Parent tag:
    image
    Tag:
    loc
    URL:
    http://on|10px|10px|10px|10px
    Line 33
    Parent tag:

    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.

    Hello,

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

    Thank you.

    Hi,

    We are so sorry about that issue.

    We have seen this type of issue before and it happens when you are using the Blurp feature in Divi and use a BG image in the blurp.

    We recommend that you contact Divi team and ask them if they have a solution for this where these BG images of blurps are not included in the sitemap. The functionality of Rank Math being able to see Divi images and adding them to the sitemap was added by the Divi team and that is why it is recommended that you contact them directly.

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

    Hello,

    Since we did not hear back from you for 15 days, we are assuming that you found the solution. We are closing this support ticket.

    If you still need assistance or any other help, please feel free to open a new support ticket, and we will be more than happy to assist.

    Thank you.
