causes sitemap to be unaccessible

  • Unfortunately, it took me too long to find out that Google can’t find my XML sitemap anymore since I activated the plugin. Trying to access my sitemap ended up on my websites homepage. I had to deactivate the plugin. Now my sitemap can be found again.

    [EDIT] The author modified the plugin so my XML sitemap is not redirected to the homepage anymore. The plugin should have a setting that allows users to exclude URLs from redirection.

    Hi @volkerforster,

    That’s strange, which plugin are you using to create the sitemap? It should be possible to find out what is causing that and fix if needed.

    Hi @volkerforster,

    Just in case you want to give the plugin another shot, I’ve updated the redirect rules to make sure any instance of sitemap.xml is excluded. This should fix any issues you’re seeing where WordPress “thinks” your sitemap is returning a 404.

    You’ll just need to uninstall and reinstall the plugin for that update to take effect. Then try accessing the sitemap.xml url to see if it works as desired (it should do, but let me know if not).

    It works now; I updated my review. Thank you.
