    Hello,

    I have set up a staging site to test out RankMath before switching from Yoast.

    However, I just noticed that the sitemap is blank but has sourecode. Link is provided to support staff.

    How can I fix this?

    Many thanks!

    I have tried both solutions.

    At this one: “Another scenario is that you have a static file with the same name as you sitemap file (sitemap_index.xml). You should FTP into your server and remove the file.”

    I couldn’t find any sitemap_index.xml on FTP.

    Is this a common issue when switching from Yoast? I took down the staging site now as I can’t push it live with no visable sitemap.

    Hi there,

    Thanks for the follow up.

    No this is not a common issue when switching from Yoast. It is likely that there is a configuration issues on your end that is causing the sitemap error.
    Since you have already taken down the staging site, do you think you could test this on a local version of your site and check if you can reproduce this?

    Let me know how this goes.
