    I have submitted sites map generated from Rank Math in Google search Console and it’s showing error – ‘your sitemap appears to be an HTML page’. I have submitted 2 sitemaps – one is for pages and another one is for post. That page sitemap got indexed but other post sitemap is showing errors. Kindly help.

  • Hello,

    Thanks for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    Can you please follow these steps?
    1. Flush the Sitemap cache by following this video screencast:

    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:

    3. Remove all previously submitted sitemaps from your GSC account and resubmit your main sitemap(sitemap_index.xml) and wait for Google to crawl your sitemap.

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