Blank Line showing in sitemap

Hi @oabrahim

Kindly check conflict on your site.

Please test this on your development or staging site if you have one. If not, we recommend using the Health Check & Troubleshooting plugin. This plugin has a troubleshooting mode, which does not affect normal visitors to your site.

Often, we see problems occur in combination with another plugin or theme. The fastest way to rule out any conflict is to deactivate all non-Yoast plugins and switch to a standard theme like Twenty Twenty-Two.

Then check if the issue exists.

@611shabnam Thanks. I tried in Dev and it has the same issue. I tried switching to another theme as well as turning off all the plugins, but the problem persists. I tried the Healthcheck and Troubleshooting plugin and turned on troubleshooting, but when I do that and try to hit the the page in question (fx-product-cat-sitemap.xml) It 404’s, probably because that’s a Yoast SEO generated page and if all plugins are off, that will include Yoast SEO which means that url will not work. If I try to turn on the Yoast SEO plugin while in troubleshooting mode, I get this message: There has been a critical error on this website.

What else can I look at or try? Please let me know. Thank you.

I believe I figured out the issue. The site map url is to a category site map, specifically, Product –> Product Category. The blank line appears to be for a category that does not have a “Product Information Page” tied to it like all the others do.

We’ll make the update to that category, either by deleting it or tying it to a specific exiting published page. I’ll clear the cache and then the XML sitemap should regenerate (?)
