Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math support. We’re sorry to hear that you’re having trouble with your news sitemap.
Could you please send us the link to your news sitemap so we can take a closer look? You can use the secure sensitive data section below if you don’t want to share it publicly.
By the way, we recently fixed a similar issue with the new sitemap in our latest update. Please make sure you always have the most recent version of Rank Math installed on your site. This will help you avoid any potential problems and keep your site secure.
We hope to hear back from you soon. Thanks for choosing Rank Math.
Hello,
I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?
Thank you.
Please help fix it. Google News support says they encounter the same “Couldn’t Fetch” error too so we can’t get our website to the News tab on Google until it is resolved.
Hello,
Thank you for the additional information.
The sitemap you have shared is not the correct Rank Math sitemap. Your news sitemap is usually in the format of https://yourdomain.com/news-sitemap.xml – We’ve shared the direct link to your news sitemap in the sensitive data section.
Another thing we want to point out is that you don’t need to submit each sitemap separately to Google. You can just submit the Rank Math sitemap index, which includes all your sitemaps in one place. This way, Google can easily find and crawl all your sitemaps without any problems.
The Rank Math sitemap index has a URL that ends with /sitemap_index.xml. We have also shared this URL with you in the sensitive data section. We hope this helps you understand the issue better.
Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns. We are always happy to assist you.
Hello,
We are super happy that this resolved your issue. If you have any other questions in the future, know that we are here to help you.
If you don’t mind me asking, could you please leave us a review (if you haven’t already) on https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/seo-by-rank-math/reviews/#new-post about your overall experience with Rank Math? We appreciate your time and patience.
If you do have another question in the future, please feel free to create a new forum topic, and it will be our pleasure to assist you again.
Thank you.
