 * Hello,
 * After duplicating a website onto a different domain, I am trying to submit a 
   sitemap for the new website on the new domain. When I click the XML Sitemap link
   in Yoast SEO, I am getting an Internal Server Error.
 * Please can someone advise?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Finternal-server-error-xml-sitemap%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hello [@oliversdpmedia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/oliversdpmedia/),
 * I just tested your website. I can open sitemap on address [http://example.tld/index.php?sitemap=1](http://example.tld/index.php?sitemap=1)
   but I can’t open [http://example.tld/test-page](http://example.tld/test-page)–
   I see status code 500 instead of 404 or 200.
 * Also, it seems that you didn’t delete transients after duplicating. So, please
   remove transients, caches,… then check Settings -> Permalinks on WP dashboard.
   It’s helpful to refresh them (just click on Save Changes). Also, check Settings-
   > General. Both URLs should point to new URL address.
 * Finally, check content of .htaccess, PHP/apache error logs. Maybe there are some
   outdated rules which you need to improve/replace.
 * I hope that helps.
    Sasa
