Hello, we apologize for the issue you are facing with your post sitemap showing a blank white screen. This can happen for a few reasons. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:
-
Check the Source Code: First, check the source code of the sitemap page to see if it is truly blank or if there is data present. You can do this by viewing the page source in your browser.
-
Access the Sitemap Directly: Try accessing your sitemap directly via a URL like `https://rankmath.com/kb/remove-blank-lines-from-sitemaps/. If this shows data, but the main sitemap does not, it may be a caching issue.
-
Flush Cache: If there is data in the source code, try flushing the sitemaps cache and ensure that your sitemap is excluded from any caching plugins you might be using. You can find instructions on how to do this in our guide on excluding sitemaps from caching.
-
Plugin or Theme Conflict: If the source code is empty, there may be a conflict with another plugin or theme. You can use the Health Check plugin to identify any conflicts.
-
Static File Conflict: Ensure that there is no static file named sitemap_index.xml on your server that could be conflicting with Rank Math’s sitemap functionality. You may need to remove it via FTP.
