 * Hello,
 * When I go to /sitemap.xml on my website, it redirects to wp-sitemap.xml, but 
   instead of generating a sitemap, the main page of my site is loaded. When I debug
   the php code;
 * wp-includes/sitemaps/class-wp-sitemaps.php line 200:
 * $provider = $this->registry->get_provider( $sitemap );
 * if ( ! $provider ) {
   return;}
 * $sitemap = ‘wp’ and get_provider returns null. So sitemap not generating and 
   my site’s homepage is loading.
 * When I go to /index-sitemap.xml instead of /wp-sitemap.xml, it works, but I am
   not sure if the page loaded here is a correct sitemap and I want to know why 
   wp-sitemap.xml is not working.

 * Have you checked the box against search engine visits under Settings > Reading?
   If so, that is the reason. Remove it and you will see a SitemapXML when you call
   up the URL.
