Hello @bananasmoothii
I hope you’re doing well!
Please go to your site’s wp-admin, to Settings > Permalnsk, set pretty permalinks, and save changes. Check if the map will load.
If this will not work, have a look at the suggestion provided here:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/404-when-using-pretty-permalinks-on-new-wordpress-site-on-lemp-nginx
https://nginxlibrary.com/wordpress-permalinks/
Otherwise, please contact your hosting provider so they could provide you the correct rules.
Kind regards,

hay @bananasmoothii how can you fix your blog for your sitemap? i have same trouble like that. i have some website on my server, and some website on cpanel, while i go to my website (my server self) its always be like this. 404 not found.
my problem , but while my website migrated to cpanel, sitemap is on.
what can i do for this problem.
thanks.
and sorry for my bad english.
Well, for now, I’m just using another sitemap plugin (google xml-sitemap or something like that), because this plug-in provide some rewrite rules if you get 404 not found, and these work. For the robots.txt, well, It still not working, but I feel like it is not necessary.
Hello @penyintasdelusi
I trust you’re doing well!
Please try the adding teh following rules to teh server config and see if this will work for you:
location ~ ([^/]*)sitemap(.*).x(m|s)l$ {
rewrite ^/sitemap.xml$ /index.php?wds_sitemap=1&wds_sitemap_type=index last;
rewrite ^/([^/]+?)-sitemap([0-9]+)?.xml$ /index.php?wds_sitemap=1&wds_sitemap_type=$1&wds_sitemap_page=$2 last;
}
Kind regards,

`location ~ ([^/]*)sitemap(.*).x(m|s)l$ {
rewrite ^/sitemap.xml$ /index.php?wds_sitemap=1&wds_sitemap_type=index last;
rewrite ^/([^/]+?)-sitemap([0-9]+)?.xml$ /index.php?wds_sitemap=1&wds_sitemap_type=$1&wds_sitemap_page=$2 last;
}`
Will this work for the robots.txt too ?
Hi @bananasmoothii
It’s not quite the same, I’m afraid.
This code for sitemap.xml implements “pretty link” kind of rewrite but robots.txt file is different and it can either be “virtual” or a real physically existing file.
The latter shouldn’t be an issue and should be available anyway so I suppose it’s the virtual one. In that case, try adding this code, additionally, to nginx config:
location = /robots.txt {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
access_log off;
log_not_found off;
}
Best regards,
Adam
