Sitemap gives 404 after working fine - Support

I made my sitemaps and submitted them to GSC – all good. After a while, GSC gave me “couldn’t fetch”. I checked on the backend and my sitemaps give 404. Actually all sitemaps give 404. I cleared the website cache, same thing. Help? Why did it stop working after a few weeks?

Problem 2: GSC says some articles from my blog (about 50) are noindex even though in RankMath they are set up right (index).

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math and apologies for any inconvenience 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:

Problem 2: GSC says some articles from my blog (about 50) are noindex even though in RankMath they are set up right (index).

Kindly share a few of the affected URLs so that we can take a look and assist.

Thank you

Hello,

I’ve checked the pages you have shared, and they are already set to index. Also, they are included in your sitemap.

In this case, please remove all your submitted sitemaps and resubmit your main sitemap only. Then give Google some time to recrawl your site.

I hope that helps.

Thank you.
