# Sarch Console error

 * Hello, I have a problem with a sitemap. It gives me error in Search Console only
   in Woocommerce product sub-sitemaps: [https://goyasonido.com/sitemap_index.xml/](https://goyasonido.com/sitemap_index.xml/)
 * Sitemaps that are not product pages load them well.
    Previously all sub-sitemaps
   were loading well in Search Console.
 * The error that Search Console gives is:
    – The sitemap is readable, but has errors–
   We have not been able to read your sitemap. It may contain an entry that we cannot
   recognize. Validate the sitemap before sending it again. – Examples: Line 1
 * I am generating the sitemap with Yoast SEO and it is accessible through the browser
   but Search Console does not index any of its product pages.
 * I have all these rules written in Hummingbird / Page Caching / exclusions:
    wp-.*\.
   php index\.php xmlrpc\.php sitemap.xml .*-sitemap.xml sitemap_index.xml \/sitemap_index.
   xml \/*sitemap.xml https:\/\/goyasonido.com\/cesta* https:\/\/goyasonido.com\/
   cesta\/ sitemap.xml sitemap_index.xml .*-sitemap.xml post-sitemap.xml page-sitemap.
   xml category-sitemap.xml product-sitemap.xml product-sitemap1.xml product-sitemap2.
   xml product-sitemap3.xml product-sitemap4.xml product-sitemap5.xml product-sitemap6.
   xml product-sitemap7.xml product-sitemap8.xml product-sitemap9.xml product_cat-
   sitemap.xml pa_marca-sitemap.xml \/post-sitemap.xml \/page-sitemap.xml \/category-
   sitemap.xml \/product-sitemap.xml \/product-sitemap1.xml \/product-sitemap2.xml\/
   product-sitemap3.xml \/product-sitemap4.xml \/product-sitemap5.xml \/product-
   sitemap6.xml \/product-sitemap7.xml \/product-sitemap8.xml \/product-sitemap9.
   xml \/product_cat-sitemap.xml \/pa_marca-sitemap.xml
 * If I type “product-sitemap1\.xml” Yoast SEO removes “\” when saving getting “
   product-sitemap1.xml”.
 * I have cleared the cache and regenerated the permalinks. I have also removed 
   the sitemap in Search Console and resubmitted it but errors still appear.
 * Do you know what the problem may be?
 * Thanks!

 * Hi [@mcidesarrollo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mcidesarrollo/),
 * Thanks for reaching out!
 * We visited the XML sitemap index at [https://goyasonido.com/sitemap_index.xml/](https://goyasonido.com/sitemap_index.xml/)
   and it is not loading properly and this may have affected some other individual
   sitemaps [https://imgur.com/iUfl3Mu](https://imgur.com/iUfl3Mu).
 * However, the source of the sitemap is generated as expected [https://imgur.com/cCQEMTD](https://imgur.com/cCQEMTD).
   As long as the source is generated correctly, this is not an issue for the search
   engines. They do not use the stylesheet on the sitemaps; the stylesheet is only
   used so that the XML Sitemaps are also presented in a human-friendly format.
 * The issue is usually caused by caching and minifying plugins. [Kindly ensure to exclude the sitemap index](https://kb.yoast.com/kb/exclude-sitemaps-from-cache/)
   from being cached. You may want to re-check your cache settings in Hummingbird
   Performance plugin
 * Does this fix your issue? Also, if you use the Yoast sitemap feature with third-
   party sitemap plugins, you may experience unexpected behaviour. Kindly ensure
   that other sitemap plugins are disabled.

 * I deactivated Hummingbird 3 days ago and at the moment the first 2 Woocommerce
   sitemaps with 1000 products each appear correct.
    I’m going to wait a few more
   days to see if google indicates the other sitemaps correct. Then I’ll activate
   Hummingbird again and try new exclusions.
 * Thank you very much

 * Hi,
 * It’s possible that it is indeed due to your caching plugin. Once you add the 
   proper exclusion rules, you should be able to run both the Yoast SEO sitemap 
   as well as your caching plugin without any issue — [https://yoast.com/help/exclude-sitemaps-from-cache/](https://yoast.com/help/exclude-sitemaps-from-cache/)
