Im just posting an update from Uncode Devs.

Well, the problem seems to have started with this issue reported on Github which led to a modification of the plugin (2019): https://github.com/awesomemotive/all-in-one-seo-pack/issues/2190 So if there’s no content for that particular sitemap it is loaded the function get_404_template() (https://undsgn.d.pr/R2KYOu).

I think the problem is that when the plugin forces to display a 404 page, Uncode still hasn’t loaded its globals. In few words, this happens too early maybe. If they provided a filter for the function I shared in the screenshot we can provide our solution, maybe redirecting to a 404 courtesy page in case the content of the site map is empty.

Let me know if you can tell them this, otherwise I’ll try to open an issue on Github.

Is there a filter I can give them?

Ok, I’ll send your message back to them. Wish you and them could work together to figure this out. AIO SEO is a very high used plugin but so is Uncode.

Thanks anyway, Ive sent them your message.

First of all, sorry as I have more than one thread. I had posted elsewhere on this forum about my issue but then started a new thread after figuring out the problem exactly. Therefore I am posting here and not there.

——————————————

After speaking to AIO SEO, Uncode devs and WP Bakery, I keep getting referred to the other party.

First of all, I’ve disabled every plugin now including WP Bakery. So its not that, but it is a conflict between Uncode Theme and AIO SEO.

AIO SEO said why it cant be their plugin and thats fair enough, but Uncode Author came back to me and said this.. I didnt even realise it was every URL that had sitemap.xml on the end.

Anyway… from dev:

Please, first of all consider that the issue is with 404 page and URLs managed by All In One SEO plugin, not with the sitemap, since any URL that ends with sitemap.xml returns the same result:

https://domain.com/qwerty-sitemap.xml
https://domain.com/lorem-ipsum-sitemap.xml
https://domain.com/hello-world-sitemap.xml

So, as I said, the issue is due to All In One SEO plugin, it is a conflict with it, since if you disable it and reload the pages above you’ll see the regular 404 page.

After saying that, we’ll definitely try to find the culprit, but it is an incompatibility between (I guess) how Uncode allows to customize 404 pages and how All In One SEO manages URLs, since Yoast doesn’t have this kind of problems, and also the new native Site Map of WordPress 5.5 works fine

I know. Its just annoying. I’m going to point them to this thread. Hopefully they’ll read your comments and figure something out. Thanks again @wpsmort

Wpsmort, I’m not pointing blame. Im just trying to resolve. However if I do disable AIO SEO it goes away. It seems a conflict somewhere. Im just not sure who will resolve, or how.

Spoke to wpbakery and they said…

“The https://www.domainhidden.com/wp-sitemap.xml is a page generated by sitemap plugin and WPBakery Page Builder does not have any control over it. The WPBakery Page Builder can only work on static pages while the generated pages are controlled by the respective plugins and the theme.

————————————-

I did mention before that if I disable AIO SEO, the issue goes away, i.e. wp-sitemap.xml doesnt throw out a load of gibberish.

I love AIO SEO. I love WPBakery. But when both say ‘its not us, its them’ its very frustrating as I then have zero idea how to resolve.

I’ll reach out to them, thanks.

My issue is def caused by the plugin as if I disable the plugin I have no issues.

If I enable the plugin the page /wp-sitemap.xml throws out a lot of WP Bakery style code. I’m guessing there’s a conflict between AIO SEO and WP Bakery. Is there a way a dev can take a look and fix in the next version?

Resolved.

Telling search engines not to index doesnt really help, but even with testing its still there.

Its throwing out a lot of code which looks like WP Bakery. The issue lies either with them or WP. Not sure at this stage.

I use AIO SEO to create my sitemap which as Ive learned in default, adds that filter in so something very strange going on here.

Weird as I still have that page /wp-sitemap.xml

So I updated to WP 5.5

And I can still navigate to mydomain.com/wp-sitemap.xml

What makes it worse is it throws out a load of code which looks like wpbakery before its formatted. NOt sure who the issue lies with here. The theme (They’ve updated and are well known…) WPBakery (Also well known) or AIO SEO (Also well known!)

Very confused.

I had, and using the filter doesnt get rid of the URL.

Def stick with AIO! Its much better.

Anyway, I found the filter to remove the standard one.

add_filter( ‘wp_sitemaps_enabled’, ‘__return_false’ );

Ok thanks.

This turned out to be a conflict with another plugin (hide my wp)

Hopefully the devs can sort it out though weird it works on some browsers and not others. Not sure what hide my wp is doing for that to be the case. Thanks Chris for your help.
