Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math, and sorry for any inconvenience caused.
Can you please follow these steps?
1. Flush the Sitemap cache by following this video screencast:
https://i.rankmath.com/pipRDp
2. Exclude the Sitemap files of the Rank Math plugin in your caching plugin. The cache could be via a plugin or from the server. For plugins or Cloudflare, please follow this article:
https://rankmath.com/kb/exclude-sitemaps-from-caching/
Once done, validate the sitemap with XML sitemap validator and then remove the sitemaps from the Search Console and add sitemap_index.xml again.
That should fix the issue. Please let me know if that does not. We are here to assist.
Hello,
Thank you for your response.
I followed the steps, but still its giving me same error.

Hello,
I have removed the multi language plugin and now there are no blank lines in Sitemap.xml but still its giving me same error when I try to add the same in Google Search Console.
Please sugest.
Hello,
I checked your sitemaps and they do not seem to be having any issue now.
I also tested the sitemaps with the Sitemap Validator Tool and there were no issues found. https://i.rankmath.com/nnMsrD
Your sitemaps are also accessible to Google bot: https://i.rankmath.com/msFxWT
All the sitemaps are returning 200 (ok) status codes: https://i.rankmath.com/KvWrs0
In this case, please clear your website’s cache and remove all the sitemaps from your Google Search Console Account (if added), and submit only the main sitemap (https://cavis.tech/sitemap_index.xml).
Further, give Google some time to crawl your website again and see if the issue is fixed.
Hope that helps.
Thank you.

Please help me to resolve this issue.
Hello,
The errors would not be removed immediately. Google would see the changes only once it will crawl your website again.
Please give Google some time to recrawl your website and see if the errors are gone.
Hope that helps.
Thank you.
