No: ‘noindex’ detected in ‘X-Robots-Tag’ http header. The same tag doesn’t seem to be present on other pages of the we site but only on sitemap.xml. * Curl online shows the header does have no index attached to it. Wonder what added that to the site. I do have wordfence installed, but it shouldn’t be blocking google. * HTTP/1.1 200 OK 2 Date: Sat, 27 Jul 2019 12:05:45 GMT 3 Server: nginx/1.15.7 4 Content-Type: text/xml; charset=UTF-8 5 X-Robots-Tag: noindex, follow 6 Link: <[https://www.domainname.com/wp-json/>](https://www.domainname.com/wp-json/>);; rel=”[https://api.w.org/”](https://api.w.org/”); 7 Last-Modified: Sat, 27 Jul 2019 07:24:00 GMT 8 Vary: Accept-Encoding 9 X-Server-Cache: true 10 X- Proxy-Cache: EXPIRED 11 Transfer-Encoding: chunked - This reply was modified 6 years, 10 months ago by [kumarankit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kumarankit/). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[XML Sitemap & Google News] Your Sitemap appears to be an HTML page.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/your-sitemap-appears-to-be-an-html-page-9/) * Thread Starter [kumarankit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kumarankit/) * (@kumarankit) * [6 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/your-sitemap-appears-to-be-an-html-page-9/#post-11772710) * any help is appreciated Ravan. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[XML Sitemap & Google News] Your Sitemap appears to be an HTML page.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/your-sitemap-appears-to-be-an-html-page-9/) * Thread Starter [kumarankit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kumarankit/) * (@kumarankit) * [6 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/your-sitemap-appears-to-be-an-html-page-9/#post-11765811) * thanks for the message Ravan. I was just testing something and had put a static file to see if that would work. but that didn’t work either. now i have removed it, and you should be able to see the correct file generated by the plugin. * [https://yoursite.com/?feed=sitemap](https://yoursite.com/?feed=sitemap) gave the error – couldn’t fetch file.
