    Hi, i already read that several users have 404 errors/probplems with the rank math sitemap. Right now i dont find any solution for me.
    Our sitemap creates a 404 error, after reseting (saving) the permalinks it works. Than, after 2,3 days the sitemap is not working again.
    I already add a rule to our caching plugin (cache enabler) that the sitemap is not cached. That doesnt help.
    So i wanted to ask if you have any idea to fix this error.
    The sitemap creates a 404 error right now and i didnt reset the permalinks this time.

    Hello,

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

    ​​​​​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:

    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):

    Hi, after (i think) arround 4 days the sitemap creates a 404 error (again)
    The page is hosted at a nginx server, so no htaccess file.

    What can we do, since this is a very strange behavior..
    once again, when refresh the wp permalinks, everything is fine again.

    This is already added by our hoster. so i dont think that it has something to do with the hoster/server

    Hello,

    Thanks for the reply.

    I have just performed a CURL request for your sitemap file here https://onlinecurl.com/ and it looks like it is still getting cached.

    Could you please check if your host is still caching this file?

    Thank you.
