    I am facing this problem “Your Sitemap appears to be an HTML page. Please use a supported sitemap format instead”.

    Hello,

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

    Could you share (in the Sensitive Data section, so only the Staff can see it) the sitemap URL? Also, are you using any cache plugin?

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

    Hello,

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

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    Do you have many posts set as noindex?

    That might explain why the post-sitemap2.xml file is created but doesn’t contain anything. It is being redirected to the homepage.

    Please go to WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > Sitemap Settings and increase the number of posts.

    That should get rid of the additional, blank sitemap file.

    Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
