gmanwicksy Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 (edited) The sitemap function on Rankmath has put errors onto the 2 sites I am using it on. Both sites I checked today and the sitemap page goes to a 404 page I was alerted to this by google console today which says the sitemap has a general http error I was wondering what your thoughts were on this. It does not seem to be a big issue, or is it? What do you advise? I also have a second question: Should the Ping search engines be turned off under sitemaps general settings, since wordpress settings, writing, already does this?

gmanwicksy Posted January 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 Thank you for that reply, I hit update for both and hopefully it helps re adjust. I also have a second question: Should the Ping search engines be turned off under sitemaps general settings, since wordpress settings, writing, already does this? Will they conflict?

Support Montgomerie Posted January 23, 2019 Support Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 Hello, Glad that helped. No, that option is fine and runs independently. That won't hinder with WordPress's function. Hope that helps. If you have any further question(s), please let us know.
