  • I’m having the same issue

    Hi @simsim1986,

    Thanks for creating a new topic.

    We had a look at your sitemap index and confirm that it’s loading fine and is technically correct. Did you try to submit it to Google Search Console by following these steps? If you did, you may want to remove the sitemap from your GSC account and re-submit it again.

    On the ther hand, the XML sitemap generated by Yoast SEO is set to noindex as it’s not expected to appear in the search results. This won’t prevent Google from crawling your sitemap so the noindex tag is not causing the issue you’re experiencing.

    Hi @travisk88,

    If you are still experiencing the issue per the forum guidelines, we ask that you please create separate topics for the issues you are experiencing. That way it’s easier to track issues and provide assistance on your specific concerns on your specific site. Plus, you will get your own alerts for the issue rather than someone else’s. Thanks!

    @simsim1986,

    You identified several issues. We have responded to them below.

    1. Noindex Tag on Sitemap
    This is unrelated to the issue. This is expected. We add a noindex tag to the sitemap file. This prevents the actual sitemap_index.xml file from appearing in Google. You do not want this to appear in Google as it is bad for SEO. Google, however, will still be able to index and crawl the URLs on the sitemap.

    2. Google Can’t Fetch Error
    We see you are no longer using the Yoast plugin. If you wish to switch back to the Yoast plugin we’d be happy to take another look at the issue. If not, no worries, that is fine and we will close this issue in 7 days in order to keep the overview if no reply back appears.
