When I first installed wordpress on my site, an XML sitemap was automatically generated for me.
I installed an seo plugin called rank math and it override that sitemap. However, when I deactivated rankmath, I expected to get back the wordpress sitemap.
But the wp-sitemap.xml url redirects to my homepage. I can’t get it back. How do I get back the wordpress sitemap that was automatically generated?
Note, I don’t want to use an seo plugin to generate the sitemap because ever since I installed it, the full slugs of my articles changed to to just the category in the google search results page. Even though they say it doesn’t matter, I’ve personally seen some of my articles get deranked after the slug changed.
Appreciate any help I can get.
]]>I updated my WordPress website and was looking into the sitemap and saw that there is an error.
XML-parsefout: XML- of tekstdeclaratie niet aan begin van entiteit
Locatie: https://educatiespeelgoed.nl/wp-sitemap.xml
Regelnummer 2, kolom 1:
<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>

Anyone know how to fix this issue?
]]>– XML Sitemaps
— Where are the settings? How do I enable it?
— I assume we need to disable any plugins already generating sitemaps.
— Does it support WooCommerce?
— What is the URL of the sitemap file (so I can review)?
– Lazy Loading
— Where are the settings for this?
— Again I assume we need to disable any lazy loading that other plugins may be doing (eg. Smush)?
— Does lazy loading work with WooCommerce?

Any advice?
Thanks!
