 * Just noticed this error in Google search console.
    I am using the dynamic sitemap
   version and indexes are unchecked. What could be causing this error?
 * Thanks in advance.

 * I see your site redirects to HTTPS, have you set the Protocol for Canonical URLs
   under All in One SEO, General Settings to HTTPS?
 * You have also changed the default name of the sitemap to sitemap_index.xml when
   it should be sitemap.xml
