Hello,
We apologize for the inconvenience you’re experiencing with the sitemap. We understand the importance of having a properly functioning sitemap for your website’s SEO.
The issue you’re facing could be due to several reasons, including plugin conflicts, caching issues, or unintended rules in the robots.txt file.
To resolve this issue, please follow these steps:
-
Flush the Sitemap Cache: Go to your WordPress dashboard, navigate to Rank Math > General Settings > Search Console and click on the “Flush SEO Analysis Data” button.
-
Exclude the Sitemap Files in the Caching Plugin: If you are using a caching plugin like W3 Total Cache, exclude the sitemap files from being cached.
-
Ensure Pages Are Set to Index: Make sure that all your pages are set to index.
If the issue persists after following these steps, please let us know, and we will be happy to assist you further.
