Yoast not creating Sitemap

Hello @jelliott2014,

Thanks for reaching out regarding your sitemap. I can confirm that your sitemap index returns a 404 error. Can you check that the feature is turned ON in WordPress > Yoast SEO > Settings > General > Features > APIs?

We are going ahead and mark this topic as resolved due to inactivity. If you require any further assistance, feel free to create a new topic. Thank you!

Yes, API’s are enabled. Sorry for the delay. I’m not notified of replies.

Please provide us with a screenshot of the sietmap setting. You can use any image-sharing service like https://pasteboard.co/, https://snag.gy/, https://imgur.com/, https://snipboard.io/, or even upload the screenshot to your own website. Once you upload it to an image-sharing service, please share the link to the image here.

This is the image when I select “View the XML sitemap” in Yoast API’s:

Not sure this is hepful

Hi @jelliott2014

Thank you for the screenshot. I noticed you are facing this page doesn’t exist when you try to click on “View the XML sitemap”. There’s a handful of causes depending on which sitemap displays the error.

1. Kindly head to WordPress dashboard > Settings > Permalinks and click save without altering anything. Then try to visit the index sitemap and check if the issue exists.
2. If you still receive a 404, check the rewrite rules for your server. If you are not sure how to check for the rules, which server you are using, or how to enter them, please contact your host provider.

Once you can see the sitemap from View the XML sitemap, kindly delete the existing sitemap from Google Search Console and then resubmit the index sitemap only.
