Hi @devnihil,
Unfortunately, that didn’t work. I tried deactivating and reactivating the plugin and that didn’t work as well.
So I decided to do a fresh install.
And since I am going that route, I figure I might as well do it right. I deleted the plugin, deactivate my caching plugin, bypass CloudFlare, clear any server cache and then install Yoast SEO. That worked.
I don’t know if it is just one or all of the steps I did that solve this sitemap issue. But I am just glad it worked.
Thanks everyone who read and chip in ideas.
