Hello,
Thank you for your query and we are so sorry about the trouble this must have caused.
Your sitemap is loading just fine and from your screenshot, Google is reading it without any issues.
The message “No referring sitemaps detected” appears when Google discovers your URL through means other than the sitemap, like backlinks. It’s not an error but rather a way Google found your URL. You may refer to this guide: https://rankmath.com/kb/no-referring-sitemaps-detected/
Please submit the affected URL in your GSC’s URL inspection tool and share a screenshot of the report. Please also share the URL here if that post or page is still not being indexed by Google.
Looking forward to helping you.
