Hi Anas,
Thanks for your reply. I’ve tried the code (through method 1 on the link), but the error remains.
Is there any other option that i could try?
Thanks,

Hello,
Thanks for contacting us, and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
I’ve checked your sitemap at /?sitemap=1 and it seems to be working fine if you view the source code of the page.
Please try rewriting the /?sitemap=1 to sitemap_index.xml in order to fix this issue. Here’s a guide below that you may follow to learn how you can conduct a rewrite operation on your web server:
For Nginx:

For Apache:

If that seems to be complicated for you, you may also ask your hosting provider to do that for you.
Let us know how it goes. Looking forward to helping you.
Thank you.
