    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting the support and we regret the inconvenience caused.

    Could you please share the URL of your website/sitemap so that we can have a closer look at the issue?

    Looking forward to helping you.

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    Please follow the steps in this link for initial troubleshooting:

    1. Flush the Sitemap cache by following this video screencast:
    https://i.rankmath.com/pipRDp

    2. 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/

    For the error in your Goole Search Console, there is a plugin/theme generating a faulty Events Schema on your site. Assuming you are using the latest version of all the plugins and the themes (please update if not yet), to determine that, please follow this troubleshooting guide:
    https://rankmath.com/kb/check-plugin-conflicts/

    Here is a video you can follow as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcIWRhcUP2c

    Only the site admin would know and your users won’t be affected by this troubleshooting.

    I hope that helps.

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    These are the steps in the video screencast.
    1. Increase the links per sitemap and save the changes:

    2. Resave the Permalinks(without changing anything).

    Here is a screenshot of the Schema:

    Hope this helps.

    Frankly Speaking i was not facing any issue before

    no i have a noindex on the url my site map i do not think this is a theme issue

    Hello,

    The sitemaps, by default, are set to noindex as it is not meant to be indexed and appear in the search results.

    The sitemap should only be submitted in the sitemaps sections and not in the URL Inspection Tool.

    Please submit the sitemaps in the sitemaps section by following this guide:
    https://rankmath.com/kb/submit-sitemap-to-google/

    Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.

    the site map was submitted in the site map section and not in URL Inspection Tool.

    Hello,

    XML sitemaps are intentionally marked Noindex as they’re only meant to be crawled by the search engines and not to get indexed on the SERPs.

    I tested your sitemap as Googlebot and the sitemap is returning a 403 Forbidden Status. You can have a look at the screenshot in the sensitive data section of this ticket for a quick reference.

    Please reach out to your web host and ensure that the sitemaps are fully accessible to Googlebot.

    Once done, clear your website and server’s cache (if any) remove all the sitemaps from your Google Search Console account, and then submit only the main sitemap: /sitemap_index.xml

    Here’s a guide with more details: https://rankmath.com/kb/submit-sitemap-to-google/

    Further, give Google some time to crawl your website again and see if that helps.

    Let us know how that goes.

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    Assuming you are referring to the Event Schema, yes, you get those options in the Free plugin.

    You can read more about it here:

    Hope this helps.

    Hello,

    I checked the page source, Service Schema is not added in the page source.

    The Events Schema is added to the page source, and it is not coming from Rank Math.

    To fix the issue with this Schema, you can get in touch with the developer of the plugin that you are using to add the Schema.

    Hope this helps.

    Thank you.

    Can you see service schema or article schema by Rankmath on my site ?

    Anas

    Hello,

    I checked a page on your website, and the Article Schema is added by Rank Math.

    If you have added Service Schema on any page, please share the URL of that page so we can check.

    We look forward to helping you.
