Hello, we went live with our web trvl.cz and set up the site-map.xml to be available, but we can’t access it and it goes to 404. We tried everything with permissions to plugin removal. Could you please help us with what to do? It is quite a big problem for the web right now. Thank you.

Hello, we’re sorry to hear that you’re experiencing issues with your sitemap.

The sitemap_index.xml file is crucial for search engines like Google to find all the pages on your site. If it’s returning a 404 error, it means that the sitemap index or individual sitemap does not exist.

To resolve this issue, you can try the following steps:
1. Flush the Sitemap Cache
2. Fix Sitemap Issues on Nginx or Apache Server
3. Exclude the Sitemap Files in the Caching Plugin
4. Add Filter to Enable/Disable Sitemap Caching
5. Ensure Pages Are Set to Index
You can find detailed instructions on how to perform these steps in our knowledgebase article on why the sitemap_index.xml throws a 404 error.

If you’ve already tried these steps and are still facing issues, please let us know, and we’ll be happy to assist you further.
