Hi Rank Math Support,
We are facing issues with our sitemap and indexing in Google Search Console. Below are the specific problems:
Issues Faced:
Sitemap Not Updating: New pages are not being added automatically to the sitemap.
404 Errors in Sitemap: Some URLs within the sitemap return a 404 error when accessed.
Google Unable to Fetch Sitemap: /page-sitemap2.xml is showing an error in Google Search Console.
Sitemap Not Being Read Properly: Some pages in the sitemap are being ignored or not indexed correctly.
Possible robots.txt Issue: We checked robots.txt, and it does not seem to block the sitemap, but Google is not fetching some pages.
Troubleshooting Steps Taken:
Regenerated Sitemap via Rank Math settings.
Cleared Cache (WordPress, CDN, Cloudflare).
Checked Robots.txt to ensure it’s not blocking the sitemap.
Resubmitted Sitemap in Google Search Console.
Checked for Plugin Conflicts by disabling other SEO-related plugins.
Re-saved Permalinks to refresh the URL structure.
Despite these steps, the issue is still not resolved. Can you please help us identify the cause and provide a solution?Looking forward to your response.
