You need to add full url of your sitemap, then it will work for you. like

https://www.example.com/sitemap.xml

The problem is a sitemap is expected at that location and it can't be found. Most probably the name is just sitemap.xml try that and make the domain name full.

Otherwise you need to generate a sitemap_index.xml and place it in the root directory.

Click to expand...

RankMath generated that sitemap automatically.

should I add sitemap_index.xml and place it in the root directory?

Look in your root directory - what is there? sitemap_index.xml or sitemap.xml?

If you do not have sitemap_index.xml in your root dir then yes add one there.
