Step-by-step fix

  2. Open /sitemap_index.xml (or your plugin’s URL) and confirm HTTP 200.
  3. Reference it from robots.txt with a Sitemap: line when the plugin does not add one.
  4. Optional: submit the sitemap in Google Search Console.

Confirm it is fixed

Re-scan and confirm E-sitemap finds the sitemap.
