@adminalvaro The 404 error you receive on your sitemap can be caused by a number of issues, including the permalinks or rewrite rules. We would first recommend to try resetting the permalink structure in WordPress which can be done by performing the following steps:
Login to WordPress
Go to Settings>Permalinks
Clicking ‘Save Changes’ without making any modifications
We also have additional information regarding the sitemap files creating an error here: https://kb.yoast.com/kb/my-sitemap-index-is-giving-a-404-error-what-should-i-do/
If you continue to receive the error after resetting the permalinks, we would then also suggest adding a set of rewrite rules to your server and we have a guide on adding these for an Apache servers here: https://kb.yoast.com/kb/xml-sitemaps-apache/ and for Nginx servers here: https://kb.yoast.com/kb/xml-sitemaps-nginx/.
Can you please try the aforementioned recommendation and let us know whether this resolves your issue?
This is my .htacces file:
#Yoast SEO Sitemaps
location ~ ([^/]*)sitemap(.*).x(m|s)l$ {
## this redirects sitemap.xml to /sitemap_index.xml
rewrite ^/sitemap.xml$ /sitemap_index.xml permanent;
## this makes the XML sitemaps work
rewrite ^/([a-z]+)?-?sitemap.xsl$ /index.php?xsl=$1 last;
rewrite ^/sitemap_index.xml$ /index.php?sitemap=1 last;
rewrite ^/([^/]+?)-sitemap([0-9]+)?.xml$ /index.php?sitemap=$1&sitemap_n=$2 last;
## The following lines are optional for the premium extensions
## News SEO
rewrite ^/news-sitemap.xml$ /index.php?sitemap=wpseo_news last;
## Local SEO
rewrite ^/locations.kml$ /index.php?sitemap=wpseo_local_kml last;
rewrite ^/geo-sitemap.xml$ /index.php?sitemap=wpseo_local last;
## Video SEO
rewrite ^/video-sitemap.xsl$ /index.php?xsl=video last;
}

We looked at your site http://pantalonesrojos.000webhostapp.com and see that it is not loading but throwing the 500 internal server error. Please, make sure that your site is running first so that we can test the relevant sitemap index on our end.
Please, let us know once the site is up and running.
Try this link: https://pantalonesrojos.000webhostapp.com/
It should be running, but my site is on a free hosting. Sometimes it doesn’t load.
We are afraid to say that link you have shared with us still not working. Please, let us know once you have a working link for us.
I have just modified .htacces file. Try now.
Hi @adminalvaro,
We’ve just checked your sitemap and it seems to be working correctly. We see the sitemap and no 500 errors. See this image for reference.
Can you please delete and re-submit your sitemap in Google Search Console? You can find more information on how to do this here.
It’s a google error. I sent the sitemap to Bing and it reads the sitemap perfectly.
When I send the sitemap to Google, it shows me the same error
Hi @adminalvaro ,
We’re sorry to hear that you’re still having issues with your sitemap. Did you re-submit it? Also, please make sure to check the last crawl date, since it’s possible that Google has not re-crawled the sitemap yet and it might take a while for them to update their report in Google Search Console.
This thread has been marked as resolved due to a lack of activity. You’re always welcome to re-open this topic.
Thanks for understanding!
