When I installed this plugin, it was working great. Now out of nowhere 😭😭 (and I don't know for how long this problem has been there), I'm having problems with some "style information""😞 😞 😞 😞 I have a problem which has not been covered by this video. 1. When I click on the sitemap link, this is the message I get: "This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it." What on earth does this mean????? 😭😭 2. Secondly, when I submit on search console, it detects no pages, but I have over 21 product pages, and other pages. Please help!!!!!!

4:46 how to get theme editor / plugin editor to work again? It's disabled in the newest version yea?

[@RankMath]

Hello, Thank you for your comment. Are you referring to the latest WordPress version? As of WordPress 5.9, the location of Theme File Editor and Plugin File Editor is changed for Block Themes to avoid confusion with the Full Site Editor. Reference: core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/54382 So to edit your theme’s functions.php navigate to WordPress Dashboard > Appearance > Theme File Editor (for Classic Theme) or WordPress Dashboard > Tools > Theme File Editor (for Block Theme) I hope that helps. If you run into any issues, open a support ticket and we would love to help you sort it: rankmath.com/support/We are here to help.

The sitemap has been properly generated and submitted to Search Console, but 0 URLs have been discovered. When I test it with another tool, the sitemap is not detected. Similarly, when I test the indexing of a page, it is not indexed through the sitemap.

Sitemap can be read but has some errors. INVALID URL

[@RankMath]

Hello, thank you for your comment, Can you please follow these steps? 1. Flush the Sitemap cache by following this video screencast: i.rankmath.com/pipRDp 2. Exclude the Sitemap files of the Rank Math plugin in your caching plugin. The cache could be via a plugin or from the server. For plugins or Cloudflare, please follow this article: rankmath.com/kb/exclude-sitemaps-from-caching/ 3. After that, remove all your sitemaps from your GSC and resubmit only the primary sitemap (sitemap_index.xml). Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else. If you run into any issues, open a support ticket and we would love to help you sort it: rankmath.com/support/ We are here to help.

I followed everything on your 2 hour course on how to setup Rank math SEO plugin, but still even after deleting the previous SEO plugin (Yoast), I see that sitemaps are still generated by yoast SEO.

Couldn't fetch sitemap on consol

[@RankMath]

Hello, thank you for your comment, Please follow the steps in this link: rankmath.com/kb/couldnt-fetch-error-google-search-console/#num-5-check-for-the-correct-version-of-the-sitemap and redirect to the correct variation. You can also get in touch with your web host regarding this. Once done, please follow the below steps and see if that helps: 1. Flush the Sitemap cache by following this video screencast: i.rankmath.com/pipRDp 2. Clear your website’s cache and remove all the sitemaps from your Google Search Console account, and then submit only the main sitemap: /sitemap_index.xml. Further, give Google some time to crawl your website again and see if the issue gets fixed. Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to open a support ticket here: rankmath.com/support/ if you need our assistance with anything else. Thank you.
