But it will be good to start with checking your wp-config. php Viewing 1 replies (of 1 total) The topic ‘Error wp-sitemap.xml’ is closed to new replies. ## Tags * [wordpress sitemap](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/wordpress-sitemap/) * In: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) * 1 reply * 2 participants * Last reply from: [Yui](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fierevere/) * Last activity: [5 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-wp-sitemap-xml/#post-13286946) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
