Hello,
I’m sorry to hear about the issue you are facing with one of your websites where the sitemap can’t be fetched in Google Search Console. This issue can be frustrating, but we can work on resolving it.
To address the problem, you can follow these steps:
-
Check Sitemap Configuration:
- Ensure that the sitemap is correctly configured. You can validate your sitemap using tools like XML Sitemaps to confirm its correctness.
- Make sure the sitemap is located in the root folder of your WordPress installation. It should be in the format:
https://yourdomainname.com/sitemap_index.xml.
-
Index Settings:
- Verify that your posts are set to index in Rank Math SEO settings. Go to Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta and enable the Index checkbox under Robots Meta settings.
-
Server-Specific Fixes:
- Since you are using NGINX, ensure that the necessary rewrite rules are added to your NGINX configuration file. These rules are crucial for the proper functioning of the sitemap on NGINX servers.
If after following these steps the issue persists, you may need to further investigate the server configuration or reach out to our support team for more personalized assistance.
If you have any more questions or need further help, please feel free to ask. We’re here to assist you.
Thank you for reaching out with your concern.
