 *  Incorrect http header content-type: “text/html; charset=UTF-8” (expected: “application/
   xml”)
 * Started to get this error message as I just by chance looked at my GSC and its
   suddenly got a error and I dont know why
    Ive downloaded Site Health check and
   turned everything off and sent the sitemap URL again and seems to be the same(
   not sure how long Google take to report is a site map is bad.
 * I use Jetpack but its SEO is turned off so unsure of why this is suddenly happening.

 * Hello [@twinspringcoupling](https://wordpress.org/support/users/twinspringcoupling/),
 * Thank you for contacting the support and sorry for any inconvenience that might
   have been caused due to that.
 * The correct URL of the Sitemap with the Rank Math plugin is:
    [https://twinspringcoupling.com/sitemap_index.xml](https://twinspringcoupling.com/sitemap_index.xml)
 * Hope that helps. If there’s anything else we can help you with, please let us
   know. We are here to assist.

 * The XML-sitemaps.com now works but unsure of how long GSC takes to validate this
   
   On a side note I use Autoptimise and WP Super Cache, wonder whether going to 
   WP rocket is worth the money and does it remove the need to use Autoptimise as
   well?

 * Hello [@twinspringcoupling](https://wordpress.org/support/users/twinspringcoupling/)
 * You would need to update your Robots.txt file:
    [https://twinspringcoupling.com/robots.txt](https://twinspringcoupling.com/robots.txt)
 * Try to match it like this one
    [https://rankmath.com/robots.txt](https://rankmath.com/robots.txt)
 * Then try re-submitting the Sitemap in Google Search Console.
 * Hope that helps.
 * P.S. We do not have much experience with the caching plugins as they always cause
   issues on our website so we can not recommend you which one to choose. Sorry 
   about that.

 * Thank you resolved the issue
    No idea how it got reset to the old version as 
   I had to manually update the robot.txt file in the file manager through the CPanel
   so I updated Flatsome last week so it may have done it. I find with Inmotion 
   hosting I cant use WC3T as it crashes my site Thanks again
