Hello,
having the “couldn’t fetch” error in google search console and reveiwing the rankmath guide on this at:
https://rankmath.com/kb/couldnt-fetch-error-google-search-console/?_gl=1*nrdru6*_ga*MTk3ODAxNDI5NS4xNjk0ODkzODI5*_ga_WTF2SQ5LGQ*MTY5NTY4Njk4Mi42LjEuMTY5NTY4NzU0Mi40Ny4wLjA.
it says the sitemap is to be in the root however mine is not and I’m not sure how to fix this since in wordpress on my rankmath plugin it shows the path:Your sitemap index can be found here: https://outdoorchamps.com/index.php/sitemap_index.xml
so not sure if the fact that it’s got the index.php in the path is the problem and if it is how do I fix this in rankmath and the wordpress structure.
by the way the tool you refer to in your guide shows https://www.xml-sitemaps.com/validate-xml-sitemap.html
does show my sitemap is 100% fine.
So why doesn’t google like it?
Thank you.
