Hello,
Thank you for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
We checked your sitemap and seems that your sitemap is working properly. In this case, please try to follow the steps below and see if that works for you:
1. Flush the Sitemap cache by following this video screencast:
https://i.rankmath.com/pipRDp
2. Exclude the Sitemap files of the Rank Math plugin in your caching plugin. The cache could be via a plugin or from the server. For plugins or Cloudflare, please follow this article:
https://rankmath.com/kb/exclude-sitemaps-from-caching/
3. If the above steps don’t seem to work, kindly apply the following filter to your site.
add_filter( 'rank_math/sitemap/enable_caching', '__return_false');
Here’s how you can add filter/hook to your WordPress site:

Once done, clear your website cache and resubmit the /sitemap_index.xml in the Search Console.
Let us know how it goes. Looking forward to helping you.
Thank you.
Hi, Siam!
I followed all the three steps you had mentioned above, but still no luck. Any further assistance would be much appreciated. Please see the screenshots for validation regarding the filer and page url rules. You can find them at the Sensitive Data section.
Hello,
I tested on Google using “site:yourdomain.com” and it did show that Google has indexed around 22 URLs. Please check sensitive data section for the screenshot of the Google. As the website is already indexed, it will take sometime and SEO work for it to rank on the Google.
Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
Thank you
Hi,
That’s right. But the problem is not that, the problem is that Google doesn’t fetch the sitemap. My I know why?
Hello,
I’ve checked your sitemaps, and it is already redirecting to their final version.
In this case, please try to follow the step provided in this guide:

Let us know how this goes.
Thank you.
Hi,
I have already tried them out, all of them, and none of them work. Any further and deeper suggestion please.
Hello,
I tested your sitemaps with a validator and checked them manually and did not find any issues. Please allow Google up to a month to refetch your sitemaps during a future recrawl.
Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have questions.
Hi,
Yes, that’s right. I have also checked them manually and everything looks good. Let’s wait for Mr Google (lol) then. Anyway, thanks for everything, Rank Math Team!
