sitemap, unfortunately I see nowhere to paste an image of the problem ?

Hello,

We apologize for the issue you are facing with your sitemap. It seems that you are encountering a "Couldn’t fetch" error for some of your submitted sitemaps. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot this issue:

1. Validate Your Sitemap

Make sure your sitemap is correctly configured by validating it using the Validate XML Sitemap tool. If it’s properly configured, you should see a success message.

2. Ensure the Sitemap is Located in the Root Folder

Check that your sitemap is located in the root folder of your WordPress installation. The URL should look like this:
https://yourdomainname.com/sitemap_index.xml

3. Check Index Settings

Ensure that your posts are set to index. Go to Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta and enable the Index checkbox in the Robots Meta settings.

4. Add the Correct Sitemap to Google Search Console

Make sure you have added the correct sitemap URL in Google Search Console. Navigate to Indexing → Sitemaps and paste the correct sitemap URL, then click SUBMIT. Ensure there are no spaces in the URL.

5. Check for Plugin Conflicts

If the sitemap still returns a "Couldn’t fetch" error, there may be a conflict with another plugin or theme. You can use the Health Check plugin to identify any conflicts.

If you continue to experience issues or if you have any other questions, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further.

Thank you for raising this concern!

Hello,

You can use any image-sharing tool like https://imgur.com/upload to share a screenshot with us.

However, we checked your sitemap and we can see it is working properly without any issues.

Also, please note that the Discovered URLs 0 that you see in Google Search Console just means that the URLs in the sitemap were already found by Googlebot by other means, instead of via the sitemap. For example, Googlebot may have found the URLs from internal links or possibly from links on another site. It mostly happens when you have good internal linking or use the Instant Indexing plugin.

Here’s a link you can check for more information:

Hope that helps and please don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any other questions.

Thank you.
