    Hi

    I have a client site who has had NO issues with google rankings up until last year.
    He has popped off google rankings entirely.
    Google wanted the site to be verified again which I have done.

    When I upload the new sitemap it still says “Couldn’t fetch” when I resubmit the Sitemap again ….

    I can’t understand what is wrong.
    I have uploaded the Sitemap again with no extra / etc ..
    I have been googling to see what else is the issue.

    Website is viewable, no issues
    Sitemap is viewable, no issues

    URL is https://domainname.com.au/sitemap_index.xml
    So when I submit sitemap to google I just add the last section with NO extra / slash
    sitemap_index.xml

    So I am doing it correctly as I do it all the time.

    Domain is now verified again with Google. Sitemap still cannot fetch.

    So not sure what is causing it.

    When I click on the “Couldn’t fetch” writing in red it says:
    Sitemap could not be read
    Genearl HTTP error.
    We encountered an error while trying to access your Sitemap

    But that’s all the info I get.

    Any advance would be great.
    Obviously something WRONG with the sitemap in Yoast ?

    Thanks

    Sorry to hear that Google Search Console showing an error when submitting the Yoast SEO sitemap.

    Can you please share the exact sitemap URL where the issue remains occurring for you so that we can take a look at it?
