    Hi,

    So I’m looking through your forums, and it seems others have had the issues that I have, but nothing seems to be working.

    Firstly, Google Search Console is throwing the error: Indexed, not submitted in sitemap.

    I have resubmitted my search console; I’ve made sure there is only the main site map in there too.

    Next, adding the site to here: https://www.xml-sitemaps.com/validate-xml-sitemap.html

    I get an error that reads: Incorrect http header content-type: “text/html; charset=iso-8859-1” (expected: “application/xml”)

    I’m attempted to flush the cache of Rankmath.

    I’m sure this is something to do with WP Rocket settings, but I’ve followed your documentation on what to exclude from the cache, so I’m completed out of ideas.

    Thanks for your time; I really appreciate it.

    Hello,

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

    I’ve checked your sitemap URL and it looks like your sitemap was cached by sucuri

    Please see the screenshot that I attached in the sensitive data section.

    I can see that you’ve added your sitemap to your WP-rocket exclusion rule.

    But you may need to check with your host or sucuri then ask them to add your sitemap to the exclusion rule as well since this is server cache related.

    Once you’ve done that, you would need to flush the permalinks again by following this video screencast:

    I hope that helps, let us know if you need help with anything else.

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

    Hi Febby,

    Thanks, this seemed to an issue with Sucuri and one of their downfalls. I’ve now switched to Cloudflare for my WAF service and got everything set up. However, I’m still seeing the
    “Indexed, not submitted in sitemap” error.

    The validator here even says that there are no issues finally haha https://www.xml-sitemaps.com/validate-xml-sitemap.html

    Once I clear this up I’m going to move into setting up Rankmath pro for better SEO control, but I want to make sure this sitemap issue is taken care of.

    Please let me know if anything stands out to you or if there’s anything I need to troubleshoot and thank you for your time.

    Hello,

    Checking your sitemap, it is valid. And checking your sitemap’s header, it is not cached anymore, so it is looking okay.

    Do allow some time for it to be crawled by Google, and let us know if it works or not.

    I hope this helps you with your issue.
