why the site map page is 404??

Hello,

In this case, you can try to add the following filter on your website and see if that works for you:

add_filter( 'rank_math/sitemap/enable_caching', '__return_false');

Here’s how you can add filter/hook to your WordPress site:

If the issue still persists, then we might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress & FTP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.

Please do take a complete backup of your website before sharing the information with us.

It is completely secure and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the below plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead:

You can use the above plugin in conjunction with the WP Security Audit Log to monitor what changes our staff might make on your website (if any):

Let us know how it goes. Looking forward to helping you.

Thank you.

Hello,

The sitemap seems to be loading just fine at the moment.

I went ahead and added a filter code to your website to forcibly exclude the sitemap from file caching. Please check from your end if you are still experiencing this issue.

Also, the excluding of our sitemap path in your Litespeed settings is incomplete so I have corrected that as well.

Let us know if the issue persists.

Looking forward to helping you.

Hello,

We’ve checked your sitemap again and we can see it is currently working properly:

If you’re still facing the issue, please try to clear your browser cache and check again.

Let us know how it goes. Looking forward to helping you.

Thank you.

Hello,

The last time Google read your sitemap was 6 days ago so kindly give Google some time to recrawl your sitemap and you shouldn’t see any 404 error anymore in the report.

You may also remove all your sitemaps from Google Search Console and resubmit only the index sitemap (https://englishlinkup.com/sitemap_index.xml).

Let us know how that goes. Looking forward to helping you.

Hello,

Thank you for your patience.

We’re unable to replicate the issue as your sitemap is working fine.

You may try clearing your browser’s cache and check again your sitemaps.

In your Google Search Console, you may need to wait for Google to recrawl your sitemap and the last crawl date should be updated as well.

Looking forward to helping you.
