    Hello
    I use the free version of RankMath. The sitemap was working fine until three weeks ago, but now I’m receiving an error “could not fetch” in the search console. My problem was not solved by following this article. Why is this happening?

    Hello,
    My problem was not resolved after following all the steps in this article.

    Is there no other solution?

    Hello,

    We’ve checked your sitemap with https://httpstatus.io/, and we can see all the variations of the sitemap URLs are returning 200 status.

    Please note that only one of the 4 variations should show a 200 status code and the 3 remaining ones should show 301. If you’re not sure how to redirect these URLs then you can get in touch with your hosting provider.

    Once done, please clear your website cache and submit the sitemap again to your Google Search Console.

    If the issue still persists, you can try to submit /?sitemap=1 on your GSC and see if that works for you.

    Let us know how it goes. Looking forward to helping you.

    Thank you.
