 * TSF seems to be creating multiple sitemaps: sitemap.xml and sitemap_index.xml
 * AHREFS audit is reporting this and they comment “For search engines to crawl 
   and index a page, it needs to be included in a single sitemap. If a page appears
   in more than one sitemap, it’s not necessarily a problem, but may indicate a 
   bug with the sitemaps setup on your website.”
 * Looking for advice on this.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fmultiple-sitemaps-9%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_
