    I’ve found that the sitemap seems to be configured incorrectly. Here is the sitemap:

    Hello,

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

    I checked the URL you shared and it seems valid from my end, here is a screenshot: https://i.rankmath.com/yUG5OE

    Please ensure that the sitemap you have submitted is the main sitemap file which is /sitemap_index.xml. If you have submitted any other on your GSC, please remove all and only resubmit only the main one.

    I also noted that your sitemap is being cached, here is a screenshot: https://i.rankmath.com/l1MTmY

    Before resubmitting your sitemap, please exclude the Sitemap files of the Rank Math plugin in your caching plugin. The cache could be via a plugin or from the server. For plugins or Cloudflare, please follow this article: https://rankmath.com/kb/exclude-sitemaps-from-caching/

    Once done, refresh your sitemap by flushing the Sitemap cache as shown in this video screencast: https://i.rankmath.com/pipRDp

    That should fix the issue. Please let me know if that does not. We are here to assist.
