Error: Rank Math cache – Failed to open stream (sitemap xml)

    I have an error and a suggestion. 🙂

    In my error logs, I permanently get “failed to open stream” warnings from Rank Math.

    It’s really strange, because it looks like Rank Math tries to write files in the /wp-content/plugins/seo-by-rank-math/sitemap-cache/ folder. I’m not sure, if this is “WordPress Best Practice”.

    Other plugins like the “EWWW Image Optimizer” or “LiteSpeed Cache” generated their files (e.g. cache files, tmp files, …), which are needed to operate the plugins correctly, in a own subfolder of /wp-content.

    • /wp-content/ewww
    • /wp-content/litespeed

    Maybe it’s possible, that Rank Math follow this scheme too?

    • /wp-content/rankmath

    Best,
    Andreas

    Below my error from the debug.log:

    Hello @ecc

    Thank you for your message.

    Hi,

    the warnings are still present in my debug.log. I saw, that the file() function calls are silenced by @. Strange, that I still get the warnings in the log.

    Hello @ecc

    Extremely sorry for missing out on your reply.

    Rank Math now stores cache data in wp-content/uploads/rank-math folder.

    Can you please check if the new folder has the permissions to read and write. You can also check if there is any data in this cache folder.

    Also, if the error is still showing up, please share the complete error log. The error you shared before was in the file_get_contents() function, now you is getting error in file()

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.
