    My name is Eddrick and I am having some trouble getting the XML Sitemap to work properly. I continue to receive
    404: Page Not Found
    Home ? Error 404: Page not found
    This page could not be found
    on this url https://rhpaschalmd.com/sitemap_index.xml

    I have contacted Godaddy and they are no help at all. I have Managed WordPress hosting with Godaddy

    Issue seems to be with rewrite rules on the server. I tried to explain this to them but they don’t have clue

    I have copied the following code in my .htaccess file but it does not fix the issue

    # Yoast SEO – XML Sitemap Rewrite Fix
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^sitemap_index.xml$ /index.php?sitemap=1 [L]
    RewriteRule ^locations.kml$ /index.php?sitemap=wpseo_local_kml [L]
    RewriteRule ^geo_sitemap.xml$ /index.php?sitemap=geo [L]
    RewriteRule ^([^/]+?)-sitemap([0-9]+)?.xml$ /index.php?sitemap=$1&sitemap_n=$2 [L]
    RewriteRule ^([a-z]+)?-?sitemap.xsl$ /index.php?yoast-sitemap-xsl=$1 [L]
    # END Yoast SEO – XML Sitemap Rewrite Fix

    I copied this code in the .htaccess file and it crashed the entire site.

    # Rewrites for Yoast SEO XML Sitemap
    rewrite ^/sitemap_index.xml$ /index.php?sitemap=1 last;
    rewrite ^/([^/]+?)-sitemap([0-9]+)?.xml$ /index.php?sitemap=$1&sitemap_n=$2 last;

    Just as your help article states on your website this url works to see sitemap

    https://rhpaschalmd.com/?sitemap=1

    I would greatly appreciate any assistance you can provide

    @jwunmalumni The error you receive on your sitemap can be caused by a number of issues, including the permalinks or rewrite rules. We would first recommend to try resetting the permalink structure in WordPress which can be done by performing the following steps:

      Login to WordPress
      Go to Settings>Permalinks
      Clicking ‘Save Changes’ without making any modifications

    I already reset the Permalinks and this didn’t resolve the issue
