Sitemap XML redirecting to home page

    Hi,

    I am using Yoast SEO plugin & my setting ‘XML sitemap functionality’ is set to ‘Enabled’. But /sitemap_index.xml is redirecting to my home page. Check https://www.fullonwedding.com/sitemap_index.xml. Also, when I am submitting it to Google Search Console, it is giving error – “Sitemap is HTML –
    Your Sitemap appears to be an HTML page. Please use a supported sitemap format instead.”

    – I have deactivated ‘W3 Total Cache’ few months back only
    – I earlier had a plugin ‘Sitemap’ but I deactivated that too today.
    – In the Permalinks, ‘Redirect ugly URL’s to clean permalinks. (Not recommended in many cases!)’ is set to ‘No Redirect’

    Please suggest how to fix it.

    Regards

    Hi,

    I just got it fixed & I can’t believe how simple it was!! I toggled a random Sitemap setting (Taxonomies> Att. tags> Toggled from ‘In sitemap’ to ‘Not in sitemap’) & saved changes & the sitemap xml started working. After it started working, I toggled back that setting to ‘In sitemap’ & my sitemap is still working. Seems some bug in Yoast.

    Thanks

    Thank you man! You save my work day. ??
