Hello,
I apologize for the issue you are facing with your sitemap URL not being valid in Google Search Console. To resolve this, you can follow these steps:
-
Validate Your Sitemap: Ensure that your sitemap is correctly configured by using the Validate XML Sitemap tool. Enter your sitemap URL (`https://rankmath.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/An-example-of-a-properly-configured-sitemap-2.png) into the tool and click VALIDATE SITEMAP to check for any issues.
-
Check Sitemap Accessibility: Verify if your sitemap is accessible by using a tool like httpstatus.io. Enter your sitemap URL and check the status to identify any accessibility issues.
-
Exclude Sitemaps from Caching: If your sitemap is being cached, exclude it from caching. You can refer to our tutorial on how to exclude Sitemaps from caching for detailed instructions.
If after following these steps the issue persists, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further.
Thank you for reaching out with your concern. We are here to help you resolve this issue promptly.
Best regards.

Hello,
Thank you for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
We have seen this type of issue before with Divi. It happens when you are using the Blurb feature in Divi and using a background image in the Blurb.
Users have already reported this to Divi but we suggest you notify them as well to move the issue to priority. You can ask them if they have a solution where these background images of blurbs are not included in the sitemaps.
The functionality of Rank Math being able to see Divi images and adding them to the sitemap was added by the Divi team and that is why it is recommended that you contact them directly.
However, the only way to fix this issue temporarily is to disable the Images in the Sitemap option in Rank Math sitemap settings.
Hope that helps and please don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any other questions.
Thank you.
