 * hello, I’ve just installed the plugin in my WP site (v6.3)
 * Google indexed the main sitemap url (../sitemap.xml), but following the link 
   it didnt discovered the rest: …/sitemap-posttypes, it shows: could not get (no
   further info from google side)
 * I’ve submitted those urls, included the sitemap.xml on a sitemap validator ([xml-sitemaps.com](https://www.xml-sitemaps.com/validate-xml-sitemap.html))
   and it says:
 * Incorrect http header content-type: “text/html; charset=UTF-8” (expected: “application/
   xml”)
 * the site runs under cloudflare, I’ve created a cache rule so those sitemaps wont
   be cached, but the error persists.
 * Any suggestions? Thank you!

 * Hi, what do you see in your browser if you follow the links in the main sitemap.
   xml yourself? If you can share a link to your site(map) I can take a quick look…

 * Thank you for your reply and sorry for the delay (went to spam folder)
 * After further reading I saw that was a cloudflare issue, It was readed as html,
   it was fixed.
