Hello there Emre

This is happening due to a comment added by Hummingbird’s Page Caching in sitemap files.
By default we exclude sitemap.xml, but as Yoast is using another structure, you should add the following lines in Hummingbird -> Caching -> Page Caching -> Exclusions:
```
sitemap_index\.xml
*-sitemap\.xml
```
Let us know how that goes.

Thank you,
Dimitris

Hello Emre

Were you able to verify that deactivating Hummingbird is fixing this?
Cause I see that Page Caching is deactivated now, so this shouldn’t affect this.

I also made some research about this issue in Yoast site and there are some troubleshooting that you could follow up:

We are having the same issue. The conflict with Hummingbird and Yoast still exists after implementing your recommended fix. This is kind of a big problem and would like to find a real resolution.

Hey there all!

I checked that again and I think I had a typo in my previous reply. Please try adding the following lines in Hummingbird Pro -> Caching -> Page Caching -> Exclusions:
```
sitemap_index.xml
.*sitemap.xml
```
Let me know how that goes.
