Hello,
since the beginning of ladykiller.nl I am having issues with Google to crawl sitemap(s) and index urls. I am using Yoast as a plugin for the sitemap.

For the moment +3620 urls are indexed, but my website has +10.000 urls :(.
Also from time to time I get a notice in GSC that Google can not fetch certain sitemap urls f.e. https://ladykiller.nl/post-sitemap.xml. Mostly the issue is fixed after a week or so. Please find print screen here: https://prnt.sc/Pm_h2Arjxu-k

Already asked on numerous forums for help, as I can not find a solution to get this problem fixed. However, without any good results so far.

Therefore, I am trying it here again in the hope maybe some of you guys have some better understanding of what the issue might be and how it can be fixed. All help is highly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for having a look into it :)!

Warm regards,
Ruth

Hello Ruth89,

We apologize for the delay in responding.

As you already wrote you use the Yoast SEO plugin and this question is more related to this plugin rather than to theme author (XStore) support.
By searching for similar questions we found a very similar one that was already asked on Yoast SEO support → https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-sitemap-xml-error-by-search-console/ . So as a solution, you can try the one they suggested →
```
1. Clear all your caching from your theme, plugin, server, CDN like CloudFlare or browser. If you are not sure how to clear caching from theme/plugin please speak to those authors. If you want to clear cache from the server, please speak to your host provider. To clear the cache from a browser use this guide: https://kb.yoast.com/kb/how-to-clear-my-browsers-cache/.
2. Delete your sitemap in Google. Doing so will not hurt the SEO of the site. This guide explains more (scroll to the bottom): https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/183669?hl=en.
3. Submit the sitemap again. Be sure to submit only sitemap_index.xml and nothing else. This guide explains more: https://kb.yoast.com/kb/submit-sitemap-search-engines/.
4. Monitor the results to see if it resolves the error.
```
Otherwise, you should contact with plugin’s author and check your website for more details.

Thanks for understanding!

Kind Regards,
