    Hi,

    I submitted the main sitemap (https://www.parlat.az/sitemap_index.xml) into the Google Search Console which is created by Yoast and got the General HTTP error. The main sitemap consisted of 4 sub-sitemaps which are page-sitemap, post-sitemap, product-sitemap and product_cat-sitemap but only page-sitemap gets the error. Below is the description of the error:

    “We encountered an error while trying to access your Sitemap. Please ensure your Sitemap follows our guidelines and can be accessed at the location you provided and then resubmit.”

    Could you please help me to find the problem with the sitemap?

    Regards,
    Araz

    @arazsalahli We would first try removing the sitemap and resubmitting it. If resubmitting the sitemap does not resolve the warning, it may be due to a bug or issue in Google Search Console. We would recommend first checking the sitemap for any issues in a validator such as https://www.xml-sitemaps.com/validate-xml-sitemap.html, and if no issues are found, we would then recommend checking the sitemap in Google Search Console using the URL Inspection Tool.

    To check whether the sitemap can be fetched using the URL Inspection Tool in Google Search Console you would need to perform the following steps:

      Click on ‘URL Inspection’ in the left hand menu
      Enter the URL of your sitemap in the entry field
      Since the sitemap is intentionally set to ‘noindex’, the page will not be in Google’s index.
      Click the ‘Test Live URL’ button
      After the Live Test is complete, check the ‘Page Fetch’ status which is located under ‘Crawl’

    We also we have a guide on using the URL Inspection Tool feature here: https://kb.yoast.com/kb/fetch-as-googlebot/
