Sitemap is not created (2 WP installs on one domain)

    Hi all!

    I have a website where the sitemap is not created. According to Yoast, it should be on the /sitemap_index.xml page, but the page does not exist.

    There’s one thing to mention that I think might have to do with it: We have two sites, https://20test.com and https://20test.com/us/, They both have an individual WordPress + WooCommerce installs on it.
    Could this have something to do with the sitemap not being created?

    I’ve tried Yoast their sitemap troubleshooting (refresh permalinks in WP settings), but it did not work.
    Google Search console understandably could not fetch our site map and says our site is not on Google without explaining any details.

    The two sites have individual Google Search console accounts and https://20test.com/ works fine. Also, the sitemap is created correctly.

    I’m curious what you think about his situation and if someone knows if having two WordPress installs on one domain could cause the sitemaps not to be created for one of the two sites.

    Kind regards,
    Sven

    Hi @sven2

    If you have a separate WP install for the /us/ site, are you able to access the WordPress admin dashboard for the /us/ site?

    If so, could you check if the latest version of Yoast SEO 18.9 is activated? And if you’ve enabled the sitemaps feature found under your WP admin dashboard > Yoast SEO (sidebar) > General > Features tab?

    Hi Michael Tina @mikes41720 ,

    Thanks for your message.

    The Yoast plugin was not updated and I just updated it to 18.9. The site map feature was activated yes.
    The site map is also not generated now with the updated version of Yoast.

    Hi @maybellyne & @jeroenrotty,

    Thanks for the tips. It appeared that additional rules had to be made on our server because the site is hosted on a subdirectory.

    Thanks for the help and the topic can be closed indeed!
