404 error for sitemap indexes
-
Hello,
I have moved to this plugin to handle my sitemaps.
I get 404 errors when opening sub-sitemaps (using indexes). I checked all the recommendations and even added some Apache .htaccess rewrite rules. I can open the main sitemap, but not the sub-sitemaps.
When submitting to Google, he gets a 404 too ??
BUT when disabling the sitemap index (so having one map with all 103 links), then the 404 is gone for me and for Google ! I use this now as a workaround.
I have this problem on an alias domain and using Polylang. I refreshed my pretty links but it didn’t work.
Is this a problem with Polylang? I only have one language for now so the URLS are not changed by Polylang.
I spend 1-2h yesterday reading a lot of stuff, but I cannot get it working using sitemap indexes.
Thanks for any advice.
Didier.

Hi Naveen,
Thanks for replying.
My URL of the indexed sitemap: https://www.e-graphics.ch/sitemap.xml
I hope that you can access, as I have some country redirect in place. Let me know and I open for your country.
So I have 4 sites with AIOSEO installed, using 3 different themes. On 2 sites I have no 404 errors, but on 2 sites I get this logged error.
Also, it works one time in two. I go to the sitemap -> 404. I refresh my page with F5, and I get the sitemap. I refresh again, and I get 404. This is systematic on both websites. What the hell is this?
I have no page caching and no CDN. I’ll do some troubleshooting.
Any idea? You have seen this before?
Same problem with the sitemap.rss…
Thanks.
Hello,
Some more news.
* I disabled some plugins that could re-write: not better
* disabled .htaccess: not better
* added this special code fix for Avada theme (not my theme but tried it anyway): not better
* I installed plugin “Rewrite Rules Inspector” and I see these rewrites:sitemap.xml index.php?aiosp_sitemap_path=root other (.+)-sitemap.xml index.php?aiosp_sitemap_path=$matches[1] other (.+)-sitemap(\d+).xml index.php?aiosp_sitemap_path=$matches[1]&aiosp_sitemap_page=$matches[2] other sitemap.rss index.php?aiosp_sitemap_path=rss other sitemap.latest.rss index.php?aiosp_sitemap_path=rss otherNo other ideas for now ??

I did some more debugging by dumping all the rewrite rules via some PHP code.
1. when it works, I see these rules in the array
rewrite rules array ( 'sitemap.xml' => 'index.php?aiosp_sitemap_path=root', '(.+)-sitemap.xml' => 'index.php?aiosp_sitemap_path=$matches[1]', '(.+)-sitemap(\\d+).xml' => 'index.php?aiosp_sitemap_path=$matches[1]&aiosp_sitemap_page=$matches[2]', 'sitemap.rss' => 'index.php?aiosp_sitemap_path=rss', 'sitemap.latest.rss' => 'index.php?aiosp_sitemap_path=rss', '^wc-auth/v([1]{1})/(.*)?' => 'index.php?wc-auth-version=$matches[1]&wc-auth-route=$matches[2]', ... permalink structure '/%postname%/' page permastruct '%pagename%' matched rule and query 'sitemap.xml' matched query 'aiosp_sitemap_path=root' request 'sitemap.xml'2. when it doesn't work, I miss the AIOSEO rules in the beginning of the array, so it falls to another rule and 404rewrite rules
array (
‘^wc-auth/v([1]{1})/(.*)?’ => ‘index.php?wc-auth-version=$matches[1]&wc-auth-route=$matches[2]’,
…
permalink structure
‘/%postname%/’page permastruct
‘%pagename%’matched rule and query
‘([^/]+)(?:/([0-9]+))?/?$’matched query
‘name=sitemap.xml&page=’request
‘sitemap.xml’`These is a problem here.
