sitemap.xml unable to read them

Issue have been solved, but not as expected.
After suffering from this problem, I have installed Google Sitemap by BestWebSoft & debugged if the problem happening there as well..
After installing it the error appeared as well. I cleared wp-rocket cache, which did not help, and than cleared cloudflare and than GSC verified and approved the sitemap.
So I disabled this sitemap, returned back to yoast plugin, activated it, cleared both caches and nothing, which means that other sitemap is working for me, and yours does not… Which means that the problem isn’t at the site configuration. Its elsewhere…

I tested another plugin, and noticed that GSC does not approve plugins that generate sitemap that are using sitemap index. Till now it only approved single page sitemap.

I also have the same error “Your Sitemap does not contain any URLs. Please validate and resubmit your Sitemap”.

I have tried lots of guides and tutorials and deleted caches etc. but still the same error.

@hunkriyaz & @stavroch – I solved it! ??
This plugin: All In One WP Security & Firewall has blocked the sitemap. Some config inside of it caused it. I replaced this plugin with wordfence and everything been solved ??

Hi all,

Had this issue myself, its specifically the “block all fake Googlebots” setting that causes the problem!

Hope this helps ??
