How are you generating your sitemap? If it's a plugin, update to the final version or reinstall it. If it's another script, check its HTML code because this seems like an error inside the actual XML file.

I am using rankmath

I'm sorry to disappoint you but your de-indexed article has nothing to do with the sitemap.

Update or reinstall rank math depending on the case. If this doesn't work, then rank math might be in conflict with another plugin or with the theme itself. Either disable whatever new plugin you have installed or go for another Wordpress theme as a test and try to recrawl the sitemap by deleting it and reading it. This isn't about the articles and based on the error, I don't think it relates to any n0index tag. I think the error is different in this case. You can even manually check the sitemap file, because its code is a pretty basic one to be honest and you should be able to see errors if any.

@praetserge is right, there's a 96% chance it's not ur sitemap.

It's a glitch on Google's side. Make sure you have unique title tags, I have seen thus before, u can reindex it.
. And of course check for noindex tag on ur pages. Sometimes, it's very obvious.

You have a problem with google de-indexing your site.
I don't know exactly why and nobody can answer this question without at least seeing your site.
Maybe it's an algorithmic penalty, maybe your site is very poor, maybe it's your links... too many maybes.
1. Try to re-index your site through GSC... I know it's a lousy idea but at least you'll see if google will re-index your pages.
2. Read about G penalties on this forum.
3. Try improving your pages.

Try to enter https://yoursite.com/sitemap.xml instead of /sitemap.xml
Also verify from a different browser that https://yoursite.com/sitemap.xml is accessible

This.

The sitemap issue may delay indexing and discovery of new articles but not delist your already indexed ones.

UPDATE : i Have 4 website i just checked and found that the problem exists in 3 of them , point in common is that all the 3 are using rankmath - the forth is using yoast .

Anyone here using RankMath can check this ?​
