search console sitemap could’t fetch

Hello,

We’re sorry to hear that you’re having an issue with your sitemap. We’d love to help you fix it.

To do that, we need some more information from you. Could you please send us your sitemap URLs? You can use the sensitive data section to share them securely.

Also, could you please check if you have followed this guide (https://rankmath.com/kb/couldnt-fetch-error-google-search-console/)? It has some helpful tips on how to resolve the sitemap fetch error.

One more thing, the link you shared in the sensitive data section is not working anymore. It seems like it was a one-time link that expired. Could you please share it again using a different method? Maybe you can upload it to a cloud service like WeTransfer.com or Imgur.com/uload (for images).

We appreciate your cooperation and patience. We hope to hear from you soon.

Have a great day!

Hello,

I’ve checked your sitemap, but it seems to be working fine.

However, the other version of your sitemaps (WWW) is not yet redirected to the final version (non-WWW).

Please ensure that only 1 version of the sitemap is working (200 Ok status), and the rest are redirecting to it. You can also use this tool to check.

Here’s a link for more information:

In this case, you can follow our guide here to redirect it. You can also get in touch with your web host for assistance since the .htaccess is a sensitive file.

Hope that helps.

Thank you.

Hi there,

Hello again,

We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we worked on resolving your issue.

I have successfully applied a redirect rule to your .htaccess file and all your sitemap versions are now correctly redirecting to https://greatideas.lol/sitemap_index.xml. You can see the result in this screenshot:

I modified the initial code a bit and added it as the first entry on your .htaccess file. For reference, here’s the code I added:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} www.greatideas.lol
RewriteRule (.*) https://greatideas.lol/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

I hope this solves your issue. Please let us know if you have any further questions, or need help with something else. We are always here to help you.

Thank you for choosing Rank Math.

Hello,

Thank you for following up.

I have checked on my end, and it is now working fine (see the previously attached screenshot). But, please do check on your end and verify if everything is working fine, and let me know.

Looking forward to hearing from you

Hi there,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math support. We are sorry to hear that you are still facing some issues with your sitemap.

We have checked your sitemap and we can confirm that it is working correctly on our end. However, we are not sure why you are seeing an error in the Google Search Console. Can you please send us a screenshot of the error message that you are getting? You can use the sensitive data section to share it securely.

Also, can you please try resubmitting your sitemap to Google again and see if that helps?

Please let us know how it goes and if you have any questions or concerns. We are always here to help you.

Thank you for using Rank Math.
