Hello,
I can check that you have set your Posts, Pages, and other post types as Noindex in WP Dashboard > Rank Math > Titles & Meta and that’s why the sitemaps are returning a 404 error:
Please set them as Index if you want the sitemaps to work.
Hope this helps. Let us know if you need any other assistance.
Thanks.
Your login will expire in 24 hours, just so you know.
TY The no index is just for the staging site. I will check on the live site and get back to you. I am pretty sure the live site has the correct settings tho…
Hello,
Please check and let us know if the issue persists even when the robots meta is set as Index.
Looking forward to helping you.
Thanks.
On the live site, ‘search engine visibility’ is unchecked.
Robots Meta is also set to index.
I have flushed the sitemap data and the permalinks data again.
I have installed code snippets plug in and added the code suggested previously, set it to run on front end only. Repeated flushing (I do not use any caching plugins).
I am still getting error 404 🙁
So I will generate a temporary login for you for the live site, ftp access to the live directory, and add the audit plug in as suggested previously, since this problem still needs resolution and I will need your help. Rank Math came highly recommended so I am reluctant to move back to Yoast but if we can’t fix this, i may have no choice. I will post the new sensitive data above and withdraw other rights to staging site shortly.
New details supplied to give you access to live site. Your login is valid for 24hrs after access. Please let me know, as before, when you have resolved the issue. Thank you.
I am just about to upload some changes to the live site. Just so you know. Will flag when done.
All done with that, just checking settings.
Also additional question. Bing tells me site doesn’t need their verification code. How does this affect RankMath?
Hello,
You must have imported your site from Google, that’s why it doesn’t need the verification code. It doesn’t affect our plugin at all, and you don’t have to make any changes to the settings in this case.
The login link that you have shared is not working and redirecting the login page of your WP dashboard. Please share the login details or create a new working login link so we can check and fix the issue on your live site.
Looking forward to helping you.
Thanks.
Hello,
I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?
Thank you.
Apologies for the login – I have provided an updated one now. Details above. Thank you for answering the Bing point…. I just wanted to be sure nothing else was required.
hello, when i upload sitemap url in google console show error before its working but now i am checked showing error i tried to re upload url but same problem.
Hi, so what do we do now? Is this an error that even RankMath can’t fix?
I was deleted rankmath then re install now its fixed thats rankmath problem i think its not good for rankmath feedback
