GSC Sitemap Errors

Hello,

I’m sorry to hear that you are facing errors with your sitemap.xml URL in Google Search Console. To help you debug this issue, we can start by checking a few common issues that might be causing the problem.

1. Validate Your Sitemap: First, ensure that your sitemap is correctly configured by using the Validate XML Sitemap tool. This will confirm if there are any issues with the sitemap setup.

2. Ensure the Sitemap is Located in the Root Folder: Make sure that your sitemap is located in the root folder of your WordPress installation. The correct format should be `https://rankmath.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/An-example-displaying-how-to-validate-a-sitemap-2.png

3. Check if Your Sitemap is Accessible: Verify if your sitemap is accessible by using a tool like httpstatus.io. This will help identify any issues preventing Googlebot from accessing your sitemap.

If after following these steps you still encounter errors, please let us know, and we will assist you further.

Thank you for reaching out with your concern.

Best regards.
