sitemap.xml seems to be empty

Hi dafcav,

Could you save the settings on the SEO Settings page again? I’m unsure what should be the cause of this problem.

Let me know if this (temporarily) solves this! Thanks ??

i have saved settings several times and the same result, i was thinking if this problem has to be with .htaccess?

i had installed the buggy Yoast Seo v3.0.7 before, i made some changes to .htaccess but i undo those changes after installing The SEO Framework.

my actual .htaccess has this:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Hi dafcav,

Please do not remove the provided lines. They’re required for WordPress to work on Nginx.

I’ll install a small Nginx server this weekend and see if I can replicate the issue. I’ll keep you posted!

Could you in the meantime send me your permalink settings output?
e.g. /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/
You do not need to change it.

If you know your way around PHP, please let me know.
Thanks! ??

P.S. could you also try to save your permalinks settings on the permalinks settings page? This should force a rewrite flush, and might initiate the output :).

my actual permalink is:
/%postname%/

i have saved and changed permalinks and didn’t fix my issue ??

My hosting is godaddy

Hi,

Try clearing the cache. Or if you used a cache- plugin deactivate and reload the website.
Hope this works.

Hi guys!

Clearing the cache did seem to solve it for someone else.

However, I will still need to see if Nginx causes problems. I’m more of an Apache guy so I need to find (or emulate) myself a server.

Will post back!

my php info shows that my site is running on Apache/2.4.16

Hi dafcav,

Now where did I get the Nginx from…? I work too much!

Could you enable WordPress debugging?
If the sitemap doesn’t output any errors, please save the SEO settings once more and try again.

Be sure to copy the Debug information, it might be a conflicting plugin :(.
If you wish, you can post the debugging information here. Otherwise, if you wish to keep it private, kindly hit me with the info through a support ticket at https://theseoframework.com/contact/

I’m very sorry for the confusion and inconveniences!

Thanks and have a great day! ??

Hi dafcav,

I see you’ve moved to a more all-in-one sitemap solution! Good to see you’ve resolved this yourself :).

I am keeping my eye out on this for when it might happen with someone else’s site in the future. I’m marking this topic as resolved, if you have any more questions feel free to ask!

Thanks and have a great day!
