  • Hello,

    I’m sorry to hear that you’re experiencing issues with getting Google Search Console to recognize your XML sitemaps and URLs. I understand how frustrating this can be, especially after spending so much time trying to resolve the issue.

    To address the problem with your XML sitemaps, it’s important to ensure that they are correctly added to Google Search Console and verified. You can refer to our knowledge base article on adding a URL property to the Search Console for detailed instructions on how to do this.

    Additionally, you should also check if there are any spaces in the sitemap URL, as this can prompt a “Couldn’t fetch” error. If the error persists, you can try adding a forward slash before the sitemap URL and then submit it again.

    As for the custom canonical URLs, you can find the option to set them under the Advanced Tab in Rank Math. If you’re unable to locate this option, please ensure that you’ve switched to the Advanced Mode in Rank Math. If the Robots Meta is set with No Index, simply select the Index checkbox and update the page.

    If you’re still facing issues or have any other questions, please feel free to reach out to our support team directly from here, and we’re always here to help.

    I hope this information helps you resolve the issue. Thank you for reaching out to us.

    Best regards.
