Försöker du fixa Yoast SEO:s sitemap 404 error i WordPress?
Yoast SEO är ett av de mest populära tilläggen för sökmotorsoptimering för WordPress. På grund av en konflikt med ett plugin eller felaktiga Settings WordPress kan det visa ett 404 error när du försöker besöka din XML-webbplatskarta.
I den här artikeln visar vi dig hur du enkelt fixar Yoast SEO XML sitemap 404 error i WordPress.
Vad orsakar Yoast sökmotorsoptimering Sitemap 404 error i WordPress?
Yoast SEO:s sitemap hjälper search engines att hitta allt content på din website som du vill att de ska hitta och indexera.
Genom att fixa error säkerställer du att sökmotorer kan komma åt din sitemap och upptäcka alla pages och allt content på din site, vilket kan lead till bättre synlighet och ranking i search engine. Detta kommer också att bidra till att ranka ditt content snabbare än utan en sitemap.
WordPress levereras med en standard XML-webbplatskarta som du kan submit till Google Search Console och andra search engines.
Denna XML sitemap kan besökas genom att enter följande URL i din webbläsares adressfält.
https://example.com/sitemap.xml
Denna standard WordPress genererade sitemap är dock mycket grundläggande. För att fixa detta skapar alla de högst upp WordPress SEO-tillägg som All in One SEO för WordPress eller Yoast SEO plugin sina egna XML-webbplatskartor med fler funktioner.
När du använder XML-webbplatskartan som genereras av din WordPress sökmotorsoptimering, skriver dessa tillägg om standard WordPress XML-webbplatskortsgenväg.
Detta innebär att URL:en för webbplatskartan som nämns ovan nu kommer att skicka användare till de webbplatskartor som genereras av din WordPress sökmotorsoptimering plugin.
Tyvärr kan detta orsaka ett 404 error på vissa websites på grund av konflikter med tillägg eller felaktiga Settings i WordPress.
Med detta sagt, låt oss ta en titt på hur man enkelt fixar WordPress sitemap 404 error i Yoast sökmotorsoptimering plugin.
1. Uppdatera strukturen för permalänkar i WordPress
WordPress levereras med en sökmotorsoptimerande URL-struktur (även kallad permalänkar). Denna URL-struktur använder ett redirect-system för att tala om för din webbhotell server vilken page som ska laddas när en användare enter en URL i sin web browser.
Normalt uppdateras dessa permalänkinställningar automatiskt när du gör ändringar på din website.
Men ibland kan WordPress kanske inte uppdatera permalänkstrukturen, vilket kan leda till att Yoast SEO:s 404 error för sökmotorsoptimering visas.
Detta kan enkelt fixas genom att besöka Settings ” Permalinks page i WordPress admin area och helt enkelt klicka på knappen ’Save Changes’.
Om du gör det uppdateras inställningarna för permalänkar i WordPress. Du kan nu besöka din XML sitemap page för att se om detta har fixat ditt problem.
Om det inte fixade problemet kan du fortsätta läsa.
2. Uppdatera permalänkar manuellt
Om uppdatering av din WordPress permalänkstruktur inte fixar 404 error, kan du manuellt berätta för din web server att redirect användare till Yoast SEO: s sitemap page.
För att göra detta måste du add to följande kod till din .htaccess-fil.
# Yoast SEO - XML Sitemap Rewrite Fix
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^sitemap_index.xml$ /index.php?sitemap=1 [L]
RewriteRule ^locations.kml$ /index.php?sitemap=wpseo_local_kml [L]
RewriteRule ^geo_sitemap.xml$ /index.php?sitemap=geo [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/]+?)-sitemap([0-9]+)?.xml$ /index.php?sitemap=$1&sitemap_n=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([a-z]+)?-?sitemap.xsl$ /index.php?yoast-sitemap-xsl=$1 [L]
# END Yoast SEO - XML Sitemap Rewrite Fix
Obs/observera : Om din WordPress website är installerad i ett subdirectory eller en folder (t.ex. https://example. com/mywebsite/ ), måste du använda följande kod.
# Yoast SEO - XML Sitemap Rewrite Fix
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /mywebsite/
RewriteRule ^sitemap_index.xml$ /index.php?sitemap=1 [L]
RewriteRule ^locations.kml$ /index.php?sitemap=wpseo_local_kml [L]
RewriteRule ^geo_sitemap.xml$ /index.php?sitemap=geo [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/]+?)-sitemap([0-9]+)?.xml$ /index.php?sitemap=$1&sitemap_n=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([a-z]+)?-?sitemap.xsl$ /index.php?yoast-sitemap-xsl=$1 [L]
# END Yoast SEO - XML Sitemap Rewrite Fix
Glöm inte att ersätta /mywebsite/ med namnet på din subdirectory.
Denna kod talar helt enkelt om för din web server vilka pages som ska visas när användare öppnar Yoast sökmotorsoptimeringens XML sitemaps.
You can now try view your XML sitemap to see if this resolves your issue.
3. Byt till ett tillägg för XML Sitemaps
Om ovan nämnda metoder inte löste 404 error på Yoast sökmotorsoptimering XML sitemap page, då kan du försöka använda ett separat tillägg för att generera XML sitemaps för din website.
Nackdelen med detta tillvägagångssätt är att du måste förlita dig på ett separat plugin för att generera XML-sitemaps och Yoast SEO för andra utvalda funktioner.
Först måste du installera och aktivera pluginet XML Sitemaps. För mer detaljer, se vår Step-by-Step guide om hur du installerar ett plugin för WordPress.
Eftersom du använder Yoast SEO kommer det automatiskt att visa dig en notification för att antingen inaktivera XML Sitemaps plugin eller Yoast SEO: s sitemap-funktionalitet.
Klicka på knappen Toggle Yoast SEO:s XML Sitemaping för att fortsätta.
Detta tar dig till fliken Funktioner under sökmotorsoptimering ” Allmän sida. Härifrån måste du rulla ner till alternativet XML Sitemaps och stänga av det.
Glöm inte att klicka på knappen ”Save Changes” för att spara dina inställningar.
You can now switch to the Settings ” XML-Sitemap page to configure your sitemaps. För de flesta websites fungerar standardinställningarna direkt från boxen.
Men du kan alltid konfigurera settings utifrån dina behov.
Du kan nu submit URL:en för XML-webbplatskartan till Googles sökkonsol och andra search engines.
4. Byt till All in One SEO för WordPress

Tracy Pope says
I tried to download the Yoast SEO plug in and I received this error message:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function apply_filters_deprecated() in /websites/websitename/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-seo/admin/menu/class-admin-menu.php on line 246
I now can’t get into my back end of the website at all I just keep getting this error? What can I do??
WPBeginner Support says
Hi Tracy,
You need to connect to your website using FTP or File Manager app in your cPanel account. Go to wp-content/plugins/ and delete wordpress-seo folder. After that you will be able to login to your WordPress admin area and reinstall the plugin.

hmm,
Tried every suggestion but still got a 404. somehow i can’t redirect xml html htm php file extensions.
when i try
RewriteRule ^sitemap_index.xl$ /site/index.php?sitemap=1 [L] and not
RewriteRule ^sitemap_index.xml$ /site/index.php?sitemap=1 [L]

The website is . please note I have edited my .htaccess file, edited wp-content/Wordpress. Pap, unchecked and checked site map settings for seo, saved permalinks. I even used a free sitemap generator upload the file via my Cpanel but still am getting the same error
WPBeginner Support says
Hi Tony,
If you are unable to find Yoast SEO generated sitemap file, then it is located at http://example.com/sitemap_index.xml
Replace example.com with your own domain name.

Kunal Sarkar says
Hi all,
I was facing the same problem while I came across this blog post. But I guess I found a better solution for non-tech guys.
You can simply install JetPack from WordPress and Activate its Sitemap functionality and disable the Sitemap of Yoast. Additionally Jetpack has a lot of essential features that I guess every WP admin should have.
Thanks,
Kunal Sarkar

After adding the first code to your htacces file disable sitemap functionality flush your cache (if you use any of caching tools like w3 total cache) and then enable the functionality again.
It worked for me that way.
Thank you for the tutorial! It helped!
aaron says
I seem to be getting this for my posts. I suspect yoast is deleting my .htaccess file.
Jeremy Vandermeer says
Unchecking and rechecking the XML SItemap option also worked for me. Thanks!
Esteban says
Thank you!
Joe says
Hey guys. I fixed it! I turned this sitemap option off in this flawless plugin and used a different plugin. It was that easy. It was probably my crummy theme though. Probably.
Atanas Tanev says
Ok guys. I was struggling with this issus for a day or so and finally I found the solution!
Skip the mentioned plugins and the codes which may harm your website. I’ve tried everything!
Simply uncheck the ”remove strip” from yoast plugin and instead of this option just download and install the plugin: ”Remove Category URL” from wordpress plugin section.
The plugin supports WPML and sitemaps and the 404 error is fixed!
Now you can buy me a beer for saving all your headaches!
Cheers!

Nirav Dave says

Bas says
i placed the code in my .htaccess file and saved it. Now every page gives a 500 internal server Error!!!
What can i do?
Jay says
Same with me!!!? Have you managed to fix this?
Miles O'Brien says
What I did was I went to the xml sitemap page under the SEO plugin and under user sitemap I unchecked disable user sitemap. then when I put in the sitemap into webmasters it worked successfully. I can’t help you with your 500 internal error, But if you do this fresh it should work instead of using the code.
Rafael says
BAS: Remove the code you entered into your.htaccess file, resave it to the server and reload the website.
Henry says
If anyone is using iThemes security plug in and has set it to guard the .htaccess file, disable it and create your sitemap, then re-enable.
Rami Alloush says
Uncheck then re-check indeed solved that for me.
Thanks
Chris says
LOL This worked for me too. I looked at 25 pages before I saw your comment.
Nikos Kavvadas says
I add the code in the .htaccess and then i uncheck the sitemap option in the Yoast’s SEO plugin and save their settings. After that i re-checking the sitemap’s option and the the error is solved!
Thanks!
Henk Valk says
Thanks Joshua
Had the same problem. Changing the rows from 1000 to 100 will fixed it for me.
Morteza says
Thanks a lot, but not works for me. I do all of these ways and check/save/uncheck/save/XML Sitemap process after one & both of them… but ERROR 404!
I’ll try another plugins for this.

Gaurav k says
yeah this one is a great finding thanks a lot
TimValDen says
Worked for me too… I had the 404page problem when loading the sitemap generated by Yoast SEO.
Joshua Largent says
This is what worked for me – Go to the yoast XML sitemap on your dashboard. Change the Max Entries per sitemap from 1000 to 100. Worked like a charm for me.
Tony says
Easy does it again, change from 1000 to 100 did the job, without changing the code. Thank You!
onarto says
It looks like htaccess edition disappear since yesterday… nothing in the menu anymore…
Adrienne McCue says
Just checking and unchecking takes care of the issue. I will check this plugin out now! I did so much seo before, but I like so many features here!
David Bell says
I found the same thing as Jane below. Thank you!
smaug says
adding the following code to my .htaccess fixed the sitemap for me:
https://gist.github.com/jdevalk/5345872
(note this code is for if your wordpress installation is in a subdirectory named wordpress, if your is in a different folder, change the directory name in the code)
